The Toad Who Loved Tea

Adorable Story. There are so many powerful gems in this book. Never put a limit to your dreams. Doubts may come but they don't last forever.

Omg this was such a cute book! A tea drinking frog? Yes please! The illustrations were gorgeous and the plot was delightful. Anyone who loves animals and whimsy will really enjoy it.

The Toad Who Loved Tea by Faiz Kermani is a lovely children's picture book. Tungtang is a toad who lives in the English countryside. Though she stays by the riverside she is no ordinary toad. She hates staying still day in day out waiting for a snack to fly by. Instead she has an adventurous streak a mile wide. And whenever she comes back from exploring she loved sharing stories with her friends. She believes she's the most daring toad in the world until a naughty crow makes fun of her adventures. Goaded beyond her endurance she sets of on trip that will change her life forever. I found this book totally hilarious and unique. Tungtang is an intriguing character with naive and many times skewed view about humans that makes for interesting scenarios in this story. I loved the illustrations in this book. Young readers will definitely enjoy reading this one.

We liked this story and the pictures too. There was more to this story than we thought there would be and we found it interesting.

I have many a tea party with my grandkids so this was particularly popular in my house. They laughed all the way through and I think, at last count, we've read it about a gazillion times! Well done, Faiz Kermani, it's "adult " enough to not drive me batty and it's young enough to entertain the younger ones.
