Product Description

"Uncle Bart,' said Limpy. 'Why do humans hate us?' Uncle Bart looked down at Limpy, and smiled fondly. 'Stack me, Limpy,' he chuckled, 'you are an idiot.'"

Uncle Bart reckons humans don't hate cane toads, but Limpy knows they do. He's spotted the signs. The cross looks. The unkind comments. The way they squash cane toads with their cars. Limpy is desperate to save his family from ending up as placemats. Somehow he must make humans see how nice cane toads really are. Risking everything, he sets off on a journey that is mucus-chillingly dangerous and wart-tinglingly daring. It's also very funny. This is the epic story of a slightly-squashed young cane toad's quest for the truth.

Format:Paperback
This is an incredibly funny book; we couldn't help reading the most hilarious parts to each other all the time, like the wonderful moment when Limpy wonders how you could describe someone who tries to wee on passing trucks as sensible.

But it's also amazingly sad and moving. Time and time again, brave Limpy's honest and heroic search for tolerance and welcome is met with brutality and incomprehension. Okay, he IS a toad, and the book is amusing about those aspects of toads that people find strangely offputting, like warts and poison, but Limpy is also every bit as much a hero as Hazel in Watership Down (and of course Aussies don't like rabbits much either.) Not only great fun; also a touching plea for tolerance.

A mother and seven-year-old son wrote this together; we both read the book, but separately.

Format:Paperback
Toad rage is really funny and grose we laughed all the way through.It was funny when limpy stacked all his dead relitives on a pile in his room.I thought limpy's best friend Goliath was the funniest he tried to attack a lorry with a stick.

Adorable and fun 31 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is a must read. The book is based around a cane toad called Limpy who wishes the world would stop running over Cane toads. So when the Sydney Olympics come round he sets out on a quest to become the mascot for the Olympics. This is something that will make you laugh out loud and make you want to read it again and again!
