Description
Bloomsbury presents Ten Nasty Little Toads by Steve Cole, read by Adjoa Andoh
Ten darkly-comic and hilarious cautionary tales by Astrosaurs author Steve Cole.
In these delightfully humorous tales of a decidedly blackish hue, ten follysome toads can never change their beastly habits despite the efforts of goodly witch Madame Rana who reminds them 'It's never too late to change.'
The Toad With Square Eyes develops mutant thumbs and fingers and finds himself on the other side of the screen; Cherry Oddfellow, the Dirty Little Toad, is part-girl, part-mudslide; and Jeremiah Bratson, the Spoiled Little Toad, finds himself face-to-face with a perfect robot replica.
Featuring toady facts, quizzes and games, this collection of tales is a warning to certain children that there must come an hour when they pay the price...

About the contributors
Reviews
-
Whether they are Disgusting, Shouty, Unhealthy or Nasty-Natured, [Steve Cole's] protagonists – illustrated in gleeful colour by Tim Archbold in the vein of Quentin Blake – meet their comeuppances with plenty of horrible humour, and a touch more redemption than Roald Dahl might have offered
Guardian
-
An antidote to fairy tales and a fun collection of alternative bedtime stories... This will offer instant glee to its juvenile audience'
Books for Keeps
-
An illustrated collection of cautionary tales with just the right balance of disgusting humour and darkly comic threat
Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
-
A book of wild and anarchic imagination with a confiding, conversational flowing style that seduces the reader into relishing the prospect of more horrors ahead
The School Librarian
