"Awan employs the same effective techniques seen in his Geisel honoree Towed by Toad : an accessible font, uncluttered page design and rhythmic, alliterative text paired with gentle humor. This must-have follow-up is a strong addition to picture book collections supporting early readers." --STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal "Like Awan's previous Toad book, this story shares an important virtue in a way that has kid-appeal. Gentle, easy-to-grasp storytelling makes for both a great read-aloud and a useful tool for those working on their reading skills." --Booklist "Awan sets the scene for the follow-up to his Geisel Honor-winning picture book Towed by Toad . This story about fallibility and responsibility is another winner for beginning readers as well as for storytime listeners." --The Horn Book "The pictures and graphic design of [ Toad on the Go ] recall both classic illustrations styles and animation. The economy of Awan's style creates a cinematic series of frames, with each one presenting characters in a minimalist, but complete, portrait.
