  • Mouse World
  • Obsessed Are the Listmakers: In "The List", a story in Frog and Toad Together, Toad makes a list of things to do and sticks to it so rigidly that when the wind blows the list away, he refuses to chase after it because chasing the list wasn't on his list of things to do.
  • Talking Animal: Essentially all the other animals in the stories except Frog and Toad. May or may not simply be Animal Talk, as humans never show up in the series.
