DESCRIPTION:
Awesome book for kids Julie Keiko Kasza writes wonderful books for children. I have all of them and my children love the books. They are among our favorites. These books would be great gifts to give grandchildren, friends or as a keepsake for a baby gift. Buy them and enjoy !. Cathron said Very engaging book. When I was a library media specialist in an elementary school, my students loved hearing Keiko Kasza's books. Now that I teach children learning a second language, I continue to use her books in my teaching. I can always count on her books to keep kids listening with rapt attention. Also, Keiko's artwork is very easily understood by the youngest viewers and the storylines are engaging to a wide range of listeners. Grandpa Toad's real secret is to be a friend to others when they need you. Kids understand that.. Great read aloud Sarah Benjamin This is one of my all time favorite books to read aloud to a class of young children. The story is clever, exciting and laugh out loud funny. Four and five-year-olds love the part where the young toad outwits the monster to save Grandpa.

Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. Ages 4-8. But when an enormous monster appears-so large that readers must turn the book sideways to see him in his full-spread ferocity-it is Little Toad who, quickly applying his grandfather's advice about bravery and intelligence, saves his relative from being gobbled up as a "toad sandwich." Though the underlying message here is less profound than in some of Kasza's
