“Awan employs the same effective techniques seen in his Geisel honoree Towed by Toad: an accessible font, uncluttered page design and rhythmic, alliterative text paired with gentle humor. . . . This must-have follow-up is a strong addition to picture book collections supporting early readers.” —STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal
“Like Awan’s previous Toad book, this story shares an important virtue in a way that has kid-appeal. Gentle, easy-to-grasp storytelling makes for both a great read-aloud and a useful tool for those working on their reading skills.” —Booklist
“Awan sets the scene for the follow-up to his Geisel Honor-winning picture book Towed by Toad. . . . This story about fallibility and responsibility is another winner for beginning readers as well as for storytime listeners.” —The Horn Book
“The pictures and graphic design of [Toad on the Go] recall both classic illustrations styles and animation. . . . The economy of Awan’s style creates a cinematic series of frames, with each one presenting characters in a minimalist, but complete, portrait.” —Imaginary Elevators
