Illustrated by
Anne Wilsdorf.
A toad inadvertently sets off on an adventure--and encounters trouble with a bee, cricket, dog, and gust of wind--before finally latching on to a pair of sneakers that return him to his original spot, bringing the story full circle. Chantable rhymed text pairs well with brightly colored art, and the side-of-the-road landscape and its small creatures provide big comedy, excitement, and personality.
