Toad on the Road: Mama and Me

Description

Toad is back in his second read-aloud adventure-this time with Mama! Tender and funny, this mama and me story from author-illustrator Stephen Shaskan is perfect for kids learning to read. With bold, eye-catching art and a bouncy rhyming text, this is the perfect gift for Mother's Day and for fans of Llama Llama, Red Pajama! Fox has a flat. Goat ran out of gas. But help has arrived from Mama and Toad. Go, Mama, go! Go, little Toad! Help your friends get back on the road. "The call-and-response construction of the tale will lend itself well to performing for preschoolers. A catchy cautionary tale." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review for Toad on the Road)

"The digitally created characters in the colorful illustrations are sweetly expressive...Shaskan's message of friendship and helping each other would be a great discussion starter for any early childhood class." -- School Library Journal
