Description

*Booklist Starred Review:  "A small-scale Wind in the Willows, with adventure and charm."

*Kirkus Starred Review: "Thoroughly lovable . . . and full of surprises."

*School Library Journal Starred Review: " A small scale Wind in the Willows."

The New York Times: "A genuinely nice story . . . As a parable of friendship, A Toad for Tuesday will serve its readers any day of the week."


Just in time for its 50th anniversary, this beloved classic tale of adventure, compassion, and friendship has been remade for a new generation of young readers, including text revisions and fully colorized original illustration on the cover. A favorite chapter book is back, for read aloud or read alone.

While on a journey to visit his aunt, Warton the Toad is captured by a surly owl who announces plans to eat Warton for his birthday dinner on the upcoming Tuesday. As he awaits his fate, Warton works gamely to make his remaining days as pleasant as possible while he also seeks some way to escape and tries to convince the owl to let him go.

Naturally, Warton and Owl talk. But what the pair don't realize is how quickly even the oddest of friendships may form.
