Publisher's Summary:
Uncle Bart reckons humans don't hate cane toads, but Limpy knows they do. He's spotted the signs. The cross looks. The unkind comments. The way they squash cane toads with their cars. Limpy is desperate to save his family from ending up as placemats. Somehow he must make humans see how nice cane toads really are. Risking everything, he sets off on a journey that is mucus-chillingly dangerous and wart-tinglingly daring. It's also very funny. This is the epic story of a slightly-squashed young cane toad's quest for the truth.
Editorial Reviews:
"Stack me!" Listeners of all ages will be doubled over with laughter as they make their way through this comical tale of Limpy the cane toad. Toad Rage, performed with an unstoppable energy from the author Morris Gleitzman, is the funny and endearing story of a little toad's quest to find out if humans hate toads. Packed full of adventure, mischief, and amusing Australian slang, Toad Rage is sure to have everyone, herpetologist or not, smiling until the very end. So hop along with Limpy and his friends, as he tries to figure out the cane toad's most pressing question.
Critic Reviews:

Aussie Toad Reaches Out
I read this book as a precursor to sending it to my 8 year old granddaughter and I got a huge kick out of it. I'd heard about it from a friend in Australia, who said her son read the entire series (this is the first) and regularly fell off his bed laughing at this story which gives a voice to that much despised critter, the Cane Toad. As the toad tells us, they didn't ask to be imported into Australia!
Kids 8-12, I think, would naturally enjoy this book, but they need to be a tad tough-minded. The Toad of the title is a spunky and sympathetic character, who remains optimistic about finding good in the world, despite the fact that every driver he meets goes out of his way to attempt to squash him. He's on a quest to get humans to be nicer to his kind, a scaley Don Quixote, a creature of strong convictions and high ideals. It's an exciting road trip across Australia for the plucky little guy, and you will root for him and laugh all the way. BTW a glossary of Aussie words will assist US readers and add to the fun of exploring the exciting world of Down Under.
Great classroom read
This is a wonderful read aloud book for students in 3-5 grades. It allows for cause and effect questions, predictions, inference and sheer enjoyment.
Toad Rage CDs
I was very happy with the Toad Rage CDs. They came in very good condition. I was happy that the one "reading" the book had either an English or Australian accent. It was very appropriate considering the setting of the book takes place in Australia.
