Will Natterjack Toad ever get to eat his delicious cookies? Or will he become a snack himself?

It’s a perfect day. The sky is blue, the water is sparkling, and Natterjack Toad has a packet of his most-favorite snack: delicious chocolate-chunk crunchy-munch cookies. He can’t wait to dig in. But not so fast! A lanky heron is intruding on his hidey-hole! Natterjack Toad is off, quickety-whip. But every time he tries to eat his cookies, there’s someone in the way—someone on the lookout for a (toady) snack themselves. Kathryn Durst’s comedic illustrations and Sean Taylor’s text, begging to be read aloud, combine for a hilarious, utterly delectable picture book perfect for snack time or anytime.
At turns both lyrical and silly, this read-aloud, originally published in the U.K., is a delight.
—Kirkus Reviews
