Good bones, but a bit too much going on.

I had only ever seen the Disney movie, but this was delightful. Toad is such a ridiculous jerk.

Did I buy this at a thrift store because it had a funny name? Yes. But it was actually a pretty solid collection of children’s stories about animals and didn’t age too poorly.

Spooky (but not too spooky for weenies like me) and snappy writing. Finished in 24 hours- couldn’t put it down!

A cozy story with mystery, friendship, and a lot of books.
