5.0 out of 5 stars This book is SOOOOOOO funny!, March 31, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Toad Rage (Hardcover)

Who would have thought that I would love a book about Australian Cane Toads!?! It is fantastic. Limpy is a little Australian Cane Toad who has had many relatives flattened by trucks and cars. (Apparently this happens quite a bit in Australia). Limpy was hit by one but survived -- and has a limp that causes him to go in circles when he tries to run. He has a sister called Charm and a cousin called Goliath who is much larger than your average toad. Limpy and his gang cannot figure out why human being hate them. I love this book. It should be a movie!!

I love this book. I teach 7th grade English and read it aloud to my students. They loved it and couldn't wait to hear what Limpy was up to next. It's rare to find a book that a majority of 7th graders will enjoy. They all want to hear Toad Heaven, so they can see more of Limpy and his family. I highly recommend it.
