    About A Hippy-Hoppy Toad

    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.
