Arnold Lobel is awesome. My first grader loves Frog and Toad and the Mouse stories.
on “Eric Carle has died” ↗Anything by Arnold Lobel, but especially Frog and Toad
on “Ask HN: What's your favorite children's books?” ↗For those not familiar with it already, the writing and art style are a well-executed pastiche of Arnold Lobel's ”Frog and Toad” books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_and_Toad
on “Frog and Toad and the Increasingly Capable Machines” ↗One of the things I've done periodically with LLMs is asked them to write a story in the style of Lobel's Frog and Toad stories, and... they've always done an incredibly bad job. Either meandering texts that go nowhere, or just straight up ripoffs of the original stories. I haven't asked in a year or two, though.
