Tot the Toad Makes a Mess

Pig the Pug meets Pete the Cat in this hilarious new series starring a grumpy little toad with a big attitude. From the mind of master humorist Jim Benton!

Tot the Toad is just like every grouchy kid: he doesn't want to clean up after himself, or go to bed, or do his homework. He hates loud noises, new situations, and anything that throws off his routine. And tonight, he definitely doesn't want to eat dinner! Relatable to picky kids and annoyed parents alike, this contrarian amphibian will turn even the biggest frowns upside down.

Jim Benton is known for creating lovably grumpy characters like Catwad, Franny K. Stein, and Jamie Kelly (Dear Dumb Diary). Now he's bringing his trademark humor and illustrations to this hilarious new picture book!
