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.
Sean Taylor has written more than forty books for young readers, including I Want to Be in a Scary Story, How to Be Cooler than Cool, and Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise, all illustrated by Jean Jullien; A Brave Bear, illustrated by Emily Hughes; and The Dream Train, illustrated by Anuska Allepuz. He lives in Bristol with his wife and two sons.
Kathryn Durst is the illustrator of Hey Grandude! and Grandude’s Green Submarine by Paul McCartney, You’re in Good Paws by Maureen Fergus, and more. She lives in Canada with a grumpy mini dachshund named Chili Dog.
