Toad on the Road: A Cautionary Tale

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | May, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-239347-0 $17.99
(4) PS A toad plays in the street, causing animals to "SKID! SCREECH! BAM!" After crashing their vehicles, each driver tells the toad to move: "What do you think your mama would say?" They find out when Mama drives up in a tow truck. Repetition in the singsongy rhyming text is tiresome but will encourage participation. The Photoshop illustrations are energetic in a cartoony way.
