Frog's partner in children's lit (4)

I believe the answer is:

toad

(Other definitions for toad that I've seen before include "A loathsome person" , "not found in Ireland" , "Loathsome creature" , "Ugly creature, jewel in head (AYLI)" , "Contemptible person" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
