BACK ROADS, COUNTRY TOADS by Devin Scillian. Illustrated by Tim Bowers
Okay everyone, it's fishing season, and if you've got a kiddo that likes fishing or toads, I've got a book for you!! When these two toads, Hank and Buckaroo, hear the words "fly-fishing" they know they don't want to miss out! Thank goodness a friendly raccoon helps them navigate the world of "flies" so they don't get hooked themselves! Hmmm, maybe fly-fishing wasn't what they originally thought it would be, but not to be outdone, they figure out a way to get a bit of fly-fishing done...toad style! This book has loads of fun humor to enjoy with these two country toads!
I have to take a moment to showcase an Ohio illustrator, Mr. Tim Bowers! His fun portrayal of Hank and Buckaroo help this cute tale come to life. Somewhat reminiscent of the illustrations in the Little Quack series or Bear Wants series, these pictures are quirky and delightful, guaranteed to make kids (and adults) smile.
