First a bird pecks at him. . . . Then a bee buzzes. . . . Then a dog barks . . . and so on. And each time the toad is surprised by a buzz or a woof (or the toe of a sneaker!), he hops to a new location farther down the road. With fun sounds, clever rhymes, and an irresistible rhythm, this is the perfect story for sharing one-on-one or in a group.<i></i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Peggy Archer and Anne Wilsdorf] capture both the comedy and peril of the little toad's adventures in this wonderful read-aloud. --<i>The Wall Street Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Peggy Archer is the author of <i>Name that Dog: Puppy Poems from A to Z</i> and <i>From Dawn to Dreams: Poems for Busy Babies</i>, among other books. <i>A Hippy-Hoppy Toad</i> won the 2015 Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Work-in-Progress Award.
