Customer Reviews

Good for Toddlers too!

Both of my toddlers love the adventures of Toad. The vivid illustrations and rhyming text engage the 1-3 year olds as well. Young children who spend any amount of time with their parents in a car love to see the familiar sights in Toad On The Road: traffic lights, the gas station, the car wash. Cuddle up with your toddler today and read this classic!

Fun, fun, fun

This was- without a doubt- my preschooler's favorite book. The rhymes are lyrical, easy to pronounce, and contemporary. I prefer the "real" words in this book to Dr. Seuss' "made up" words. No snoozly wufflepumphs here- just a story of an enthusiastic toad with a a new car sharing the excitement of driving with his friends.

Terrific first reader

What a charming, delightful first reader! I began reading this book to my son when he was just over a year old, and for months it was always his first choice. The story and illustrations have a wonderful, irresistible energy akin to the best works of Dr. Seuss.

Anonymous 9 yr old

I love this book. I think it is one of the best books I've ever read! Everything rhymes and the book is my favorite. This is the part I like best: Cat is hungry stop for lunch sip and slurp chew and munch.

Toad on the Road

I began reading this book to my son when he was two years old and it fast became his favorite book! The simple rhymes and fun travels of Toad and his friends made him giggle and point out the things he also enjoys.
