Limpy is a cane toad who can't understand why humans hate toads. They do hate toads don't they, because they squash them with their cars and their trucks? Many of Limpy's family members (there are hundreds of them) expire tragically before his very eyes. Somehow Limpy must make humans see how wonderful cane toads are.Thus begins Limpy's incredible journey, as written by Australian author Morris Gleitzman. Limpy and his cousin Goliath start on a voyage to let humans know of cane toads and make them behave nicer towards his kind.
A rollicking and humorous book, great for kids in elementary and middle school. There are two more books about Limpy "Toad Heaven" and "Toad Away" and they are both extremely entertaining as well.
