(3) 4-6 Satire involving the mascots of the Sydney Olympic Games perhaps won't travel well, but this animal fantasy about a persevering cane toad still scores some points. Limpy--his nickname the result of an unfortunate encounter on the highway--wants to know why human beings seem to hate his kind. Gleitzman is wicked in this send-up of the animal-quest genre, which has at its heart some tough questions about prejudice.
