Toad Swims for his Life - Toad goes to the Animal Games and has a race with some very fierce animals. BLBookbanded for easy classroom management. BLReading notes for parents/carers on the inside covers. Guided reading cards and teaching notes also available
This e-book had a very cute story about a nervous toad that uses his whit to win a swimming race when put up against other ferocious animal swimmers. I had a difficult time with the choice of some of the other swimming animals and the fact that they were not all entirely aquatic animals. The illustrator chose to include a shark, a water snake, a crocodile and a tiger. Although the illustration was beautiful, the message of the story and the poor animal choice was bothersome.
