Toestomper and the Caterpillars

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-395-91168-0 $$15.00
(3) K-3 A reprobate animal (who looks like a cross between a fox and a goat) gets in touch with his nurturing side when, much to the chagrin of his hooligan friends, he takes in a group of fuzzy blue caterpillars. Although Toestomper's gang calls themselves the Rowdy Ruffians, all the animals appear more cuddly than threatening in this engagingly offbeat combination of crude and cute.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
