About Toad On The Road: Mama And Me
Product Description Toad is back in his second read-aloud adventure—this 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 Mother’s 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! Go, little Toad! Help your friends get back on the road. “The call-and-response construction of the tale will lend itself well to performing for preschoolers. A catchy cautionary tale.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review for Toad on the Road) From School Library Journal PreS—Mama and Toad, traveling in Mama's tow truck, help out all of their friends in this rhyming read-aloud. As Mama and Toad travel along the road, they encounter friends who have a variety of problems (Goat out of gas, Fox with a flat, Moose in the muck) and are able to help everyone. In return, they are thanked by all of their friends with a party. Mama and Toad spread goodwill to all they meet. The snappy, rhyming verse could easily become a participatory storytelling in any preschool or kindergarten class. The digitally created characters in the colorful illustrations are sweetly expressive. VERDICT Shaskan's message of friendship and helping each other would be a great discussion starter for any early childhood class.—Susan Small, Salve Regina University Library, Newport, RI Review “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 About the Author Stephen Shaskan graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in illustration.
