Toad by the Road: A Year in the Life of These Amazing Amphibians

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Maggie Kneen. "In the rain / Others hide, / But I'm / Quite pleased / To sit outside..." Twenty-six lighthearted poems chronicle a year in the life of a toad. The muted, naturalistic illustrations and, on most pages, informative footnotes ground the verses in fact. The open page design is inviting.
