Old Mr. Toad was a slow moving creature who lived in the Green Forest. But one day he was moving along at a rather fast speed. All of the other animals could not help but wonder where he was going in such a hurry. And the adventure begins as they follow Old Mr. Toad. A wonderful bedtime story by Thornton Burgess and illustrated by Harrison Cady from the Vintage Series of R.F. Gilmor. Presented to a new generation of young readers for little hands to love and to hold.

Thornton Burgess, master of children's nature stories, charms and delights us yet again with his countryside adventures.

In this book, we follow the adventures of Old Mr. Toad as he joins the Spring Chorus at the Smiling Pool, shows off his babies, displays his special tongue to Peter Rabbit and has a very special encounter with Buster Bear. We also learn little lessons about life such as pride can burst like a great big bubble, your friends' hidden talents may surprise you and it is considered impolite to watch someone change his clothes - especially when he eats them.
