Odes to Toads

By Robin Lyon Rivas

What do toads get up to when you're not looking?

They drive big rigs down lonely highways, calling out on CB radios. They brew magical potions and cast enchantments under moonlit skies. They fall in love, go to school, and keep house - all with the bumpy, warty dignity only a toad can muster.

Odes to Toads is a collection of rollicking, rhyming poems that celebrate the secret lives of toads - and the very human hearts that beat inside their lumpy little chests. With lush, dreamlike illustrations that bring each toad to vivid life, this is a book to read aloud, to laugh over, and to return to again and again.

For anyone who has ever looked at a toad and wondered, What's your story? - here, at last, are the answers.
