Description
Defrosted and dangerous - it's the return of Mr Toad!
About the Author
Tom Moorhouse lives in Oxford. When not writing fiction he works as an ecologist at Oxford University's Zoology Department. Over the years he has met quite a lot of wildlife. Most of it tried to bite him. He loves hiking up mountains, walking through woods, climbing on rocks, and generally being weather-beaten outdoors. Holly Swain studied Illustration at UWE Bristol before taking up a place on the Narrative Illustration and Editorial Design (later Sequential Illustration) MA in Brighton. She has since illustrated a selection of picture book texts by authors such as Cressida Cowell, Ronda Armitage, and Simon Puttock. Holly's studio is in a conservatory in her seaside home.
Reviews
"A Race for Toad Hall pays gentle homage to Grahame's original, while creating a rip-roaring ride for the digital generation" * Liverpool Echo *
"Mr Toad is as gloriously eccentric as you would expect him to be and the new young characters are smart, brave and adventurous." * YLG North West *
"One of the reasons the story works so well, is because of Mr Toad's response to the modern world" * Books for Keeps *
"S series revisiting a much loved character, bringing him up to date. He is as bombastic as ever" * Primary Times *
"It has beautiful illustrations and the story moves at a cracking pace" * School Zone *
"A sparkling standalone read filled with Holly Swain's jump-off-the-page, green-toned drawings. We're glad Mr Toad lives on" * The Yorkshire Post *
