4.0 out of 5 stars Toad makes a road, January 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Toad Makes a Road (Easy Words to Read Series) (Paperback)

Both my sons really enjoy this book. It is a cute story about a frog that buys a house and discovers since it is on a hill only his friend goat can come up to the house. He sets out to build a road so the moving truck and all his friends can come to his new house. The book has great pictures, fold out pages and since it's easy to read it keeps their attention throughout the whole book.

I love these books! Toad is innovative and problem solves his way through. If you have any of these books pay attention to the yellow duck, it becomes a game to my son to find the duck!
This whole series is great for all children from 18 months to beginning reading. It rolls when reading to your children the art is whimsical and the stories have some plot and are focused on problem solving together. It is the phonics and the rhyming that you will love, and they are short enough to keep you and your childs attention.

This is our family's favorite of the Phonics Reader books.

Toad is a delightful character who overcomes the struggles of moving & has lots of nice friends! She also uses heavy equipment. The book has great illustrations too (especially when toad is exhausted) -- super cute.
