The story features a tiny toad who finds himself in a precarious situation as he gets displaced by the bustling activity of animals and humans on the road. This engaging read-aloud, illustrated by the creator of the acclaimed Sophie's Squash, brings to life the adventures and challenges faced by the little toad in a vibrant and playful narrative.
From the illustrator of the award-winning Sophie's Squash comes a rollicking read-aloud featuring a very tiny toad who gets displaced as animals--and humans--brush past him on the road. In the middle of a puddle in the middle of a road on a teeter-totter twig sat a teeny-tiny toad. Snap! went the twig! Up went the toad! And he landed on a tree by the side of the road. It's hard to be a tiny toad minding your own business on a twig. First a bird pecks at him. . . . Then a bee buzzes. . . . Then a dog barks . . . and so on. And each time the toad is surprised by a buzz or a woof (or the toe of a sneaker!), he hops to a new location farther down the road. With fun sounds, clever rhymes, and an irresistible rhythm, this is the perfect story for sharing one-on-one or in a group.
Engaging babies and toddlers through simple rhymes, this book offers a delightful collection that encourages interaction and bonding. It's designed as a treasured gift, perfect for reading aloud and fostering early language development. The rhythmic verses create a joyful experience, making it an ideal choice for parents and caregivers looking to nurture a love for reading from a young age.
