This book is about
Daddy rescued 1 toad. Daddy picked up the toad. He was just putting it back where it belonged, then when he got back there was 71 because I counted. Then Daddy go home and he told Mummy we have not got long to do, we got toads to cross over. Mummy, she rang Wlima's Mummy and Daddy rushed to get Chip and Biff. Then Daddy put on the coat what Wilma's Mummy give him. Daddy put the lollypop stick in his hand. Then all the children even the Mummy, picked up the toads and put them where they belonged. Then all the people said Why do you put the post up because there's toads in the road.

The main characters are
Daddy, 71 toads, Mummy, Kipper, Chip and Biff, Wilma and Whilma's brother and Wilma's Mummy.

My favourite part of the book is
The boys put the tunnel, an underground tunnel and toads can cross it then.

I would also like to say
I love toads.
