I dislike books that make predators the bad guys. Everyone has to eat something! Circle of life, right?
That said, it is a cute and clever book.

Oh my goodness. We could not put this book down! I read it in two or three sittings with my girls! (Ages 4 and 6) It's a great story about a toad who wants to take some Beetle Brittle to his Aunt Toolia in the winter. On his way he encounters an owl which is where the story gets interesting! I highly recommend this book for anyone under 10. And adults of course. ;)

Two toad brothers gain their freedom from a bickering weasel family by teaching them the value of teamwork.
