review 1: After Fox spends one whole day catching small, tender toads (they are fast little guys!) he takes them home to cook them for dinner. He is surprised when their Mamma Toad comes hopping though the window and tries to convince him to let her babies live. The hungry fox is determined to eat the toadlets, though, and as he searches for the perfect recipe Mamma Toad suggests "Toads-on-Toast", an old family favorite. She walks him through every step of the recipe, and though he doubts her, he finds the finished product life-changingI admit I was a little disappointed in this one, just because I was expecting it to be hilarious. It was mildly humorous, and I did enjoy the illustrations. It would be fun to read this at home with little ones, then makes Toads-on-Toast for everyone ... moreto eat.
review 2: Fox is bored with catching a toad every day. One trip to the bookstore, several cookbooks, and a family of toadlets later Fox finds himself making toads on toast. Mamma Toad is outraged. Can she tempt Fox to try a different recipe and save her children? What I thought: Toads on Toast is hilarious! I can't wait to pair it with My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza for a Outsmarting the Fox story time. I might also use Lousy Rotten Stinkin' Grapes by Margie Palatini. It's a bit long for the preschool crowd, but I try to shorten it some. I love the dark colors Colin Jack used in the illustrations. Fox is especially well done. I also like how he gives each toadlet a personality. Mamma is great...I love her red hair. Any other fox stories I should add to my list for Outsmarting the Fox?
