It seems that, for various reasons, indirect translation still occupies a marginal role in Translation Studies (see Pięta 2014) and it has not asserted itself as a research field in its own right. This paper discusses the role of indirect translation and mediating languages in translating children’s literature. The reasons for indirect translations in the Croatian context are explained. The process of indirect translation is investigated within the theoretical background of retranslation. Indirect translation is exemplified by Arnold Lobel’s story The Surprise (from Frog and Toad All Year), a story which has been translated into Croatian through the medium of German. The reasons for indirect translation are investigated as well as the effects of indirect translation on the final translated text. The article examines signals of foreignisation and domestication in the target text and the extent to which they can be attributed to German as the mediating language and German culture as the mediating culture.

Among his most popular works was a series of four books about a frog and a toad, best friends who shared many adventures. ''Frog and Toad Together,'' the second in the series, was a 1973 Newberry Honor book, one of the most prestigious distinctions in children's literature. ''Writing is very painful to me,'' he said in an interview in 1979. ''I have to force myself not to think in visual terms, because I know if I start to think of pictures, I'll cop out on the text.'' Two works ''Dinosaurs,'' which he illustrated, and ''Turn Around Wind,'' which he wrote and illustrated, are scheduled to be published soon.

  \"A Year With Frog and Toad,\" a musical based on the \"Frog and Toad\" children's stories written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel, will be staged by the Sands Youth Theater Company. Based on Lobel's stories, \"A Year With Frog and Toad\" is a 2002 musical with music by Robert Reale and book and lyrics by his brother Willie Reale. \"This musical adaptation truly embodies Lobel's themes,\" said director Gary Cadwallader. \"Each book presents kindness, compassion, thoughtfulness, loyalty, and teamwork as wonderful qualities to have in life. No matter what might happen throughout the years, our true friends are always there.\"

\"A Year with Frog and Toad,\" adapted from a Broadway hit, will bring Arnold Lobel's children's books to life at the Northbrook Theatre. \"We chose 'Frog and Toad' because it is such a classic and well-known story that many generations have enjoyed,\" said Erin Sweet, assistant manager of Performing Arts with the Northbrook Park District, the producing organization. Performances of \"A Year with Frog and Toad\" are Saturdays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. through Feb. 28. After every show, the audience can meet the cast. Every NTYA production brings top-notch professional actors from throughout the Chicago area to the Northbrook Theatre.

Perhaps best of all are his four books about Frog and Toad. Frog and Toad are friends, Frog being the straight guy and Toad the one who embodies most of the failings. [Arnold Lobel] said once that \"Frog and Toad are really two aspects of myself\". I think we can all recognise ourselves in Toad's stubbornness and Frog's common sense. In one of my favourite stories, \"The List\", Toad makes a list of things to do: get up, go for walk with Frog, and so on. He enjoys ticking the items off his list, but when it blows away he refuses to do anything. (He can't run after the list because that wasn't one of the things to do.)

The loveable Frog and Toad, made famous in the children's stories by Arnold Lobel, make the transition to the stage with A Year With Frog And Toad, coming to Manchester's Majestic Theatre tonight, tomorrow...

Honk! is the story of an odd-looking baby duck. Soon after he is born, the duck, named Ugly, is lured away from his nest by a wily Cat with plans to make a fine meal of him. Ugly manages to escape but has no idea how to return home. On his quest to find his mother, Ugly runs into an assortment of characters. Some are helpful, but others prefer to laugh at him or even subvert his goal, because he's such a funny-looking creature. \"Honk!\" opens Tuesday and runs through July 19 in the Huron Playhouse in McCormick School, 325 Ohio St., Huron, Ohio.
