Synopsis
A boy, his dad, and his dog are out for a drive on a beautiful sunny day. Unfortunately, a hapless toad is trying to make its way across the very same road. Talk about bad timing. Is there any hope of avoiding toad-al disaster? Maybe. See what a sharp-witted and caring boy can do to save the day.
Storyteller Jane Yolen has written a deceptively simple tale that's fun, exciting, and perfect for reading aloud again and again. Illustrator Karen Lee Schmidt has created an irresistible creature--and everyone who meets this toad will root for a happy ending!

KAREN LEE SCHMIDT is the illustrator of several picture books, including What Do You Love?, which School Library Journal called "rollicking and warm." She lives in New York City.
From Booklist
PreS-K. Why did the toad cross the road? To get to the other side, of course. In Yolen's simple picture book for preschoolers, a toad and his reptilian desert buddies attempt to cross a road in front of an oncoming truck: "Hop--toad! Hop, hop / across that road." What could be a toad-al disaster is luckily avoided because the father and son (and dog) in the truck spot the reckless amphibian in time to stop. They crawl under the truck, locate the toad in question, and set him free: "Hop toad, / off that road." Schmidt's expressive paintings get right down to road--and toad--level, so the perspectives on the approaching red truck and reaching human hands are quite dramatic. Psychedelic desert skies add a surreal touch to this suspenseful, appealingly understated story of tragedy narrowly averted. Karin Snelson
