Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on May 22, 1933)

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Arnold Lobel! Your delightful tales of Frog and Toad have hopped their way into countless hearts, teaching us friendship, kindness, and humor. Mouse Soup continues to simmer joyfully in our imaginations, proving that your stories are timeless recipes for laughter.

Your Caldecott Medal win in 1981 was a well-deserved celebration of your incredible talent. Generations later, children (and adults!) still giggle at your charming illustrations and witty storytelling. Today we raise a toast—perhaps with some mouse soup—to you, Arnold Lobel: storyteller extraordinaire whose legacy remains as fresh as ever. Here's to many more smiles inspired by you!
