Ignoring the warnings of his brother about the possibility of dangers he may encounter along the way, Warton the toad sets out one wintry day to pay a special visit to his old Aunt Toolia.

Traveling on a pair of skis he has made himself just for the occasion, Warton has a peaceful and uneventful journey until he reaches the middle of the wooded valley, where the dire predictions come true.

How Warton copes with this unexpected and frightening threat to his life provides a suspenseful and exciting story, not without warmth and humor, as well. Enhanced by the sensitive drawings of Lawrence Di Fiori, A Toad for Tuesday is certain to capture the interest of all young readers.
