Both of my sons always loved bedtime stories. There was something truly special about that quiet time at the end of a busy day. It opened the doors for real communication and made us feel like a real family. Making friends is not always easy, especially if you're a toad. In Chapter One, Tobias Toad makes friends with an older person, and in Chapter Two he discovers that he can turn a possible enemy into a close friend. Then, he meets an intellectual tortoise, a mole who has never seen the world before and a little girl who speaks Animal as well as English. This set of misfits form their own kind of family proving that... One doesn't MAKE friends; one FINDS them. Kenneth W Lee
