Toad is back in his second read-aloud adventurethis time with Mama! Tender and funny, this mama and me story from author-illustrator Stephen Shaskan is perfect for kids learning to read.

With bold, eye-catching art and a bouncy rhyming text, this is the perfect gift for Mothers Day and for fans of Llama Llama, Red Pajama!

Fox has a flat. Goat ran out of gas. But help has arrived from Mama and Toad.

Go, Mama, go!

The call-and-response construction of the tale will lend itself well to performing for preschoolers. A catchy cautionary tale. Kirkus Reviews (starred review forToad on the Road)

Reviews

"The digitally created characters in the colorful illustrations are sweetly expressive...Shaskan's message of friendship and helping each other would be a great discussion starter for any early childhood class." -- School Library Journal
