I read it in two or three sittings with my girls! (Ages 4 and 6) It's a great story about a toad who wants to take some Beetle Brittle to his Aunt Toolia in the winter. On his way he encounters an owl which is where the story gets interesting! I highly recommend this book for anyone under 10. And adults of course. ;) I really enjoyed this story and I think that it is a wonderful book for children to read. What I liked best about the book was the meaning behind the story. It is important to have true friends in your life, and it is also important to give people a chance. Sometimes, people have a tough outer layer to them because they are shy or afraid, but deep down they are great people just looking to be happy and to make friends. This is important for children to understand while they are in school. The illustrations in this story are very simple, black and white sketches, and tell a story as well. no reviews | add a review
