I'm Taggerty Toad
by Peter Pavey
the tiger interrupted his speech:
so he gave him the FINGER
(yes, the toad only has 4 digits, so he doesn't technically have one middle finger. but what else could this be, other than an easter egg of profanity?)
I recently revisited a 3rd grade class picture and I swear, the teaching assistant is giving the camera the finger. The toad is not alone.
ReplyDeleteI also forgot to mention that the best way to talk about an opossum is to call it a "pawesome." Misleading, yes. But if you put a party hat on that bad boy he goes from scary to enthusiastic.
ReplyDeletei think it is the teeth. so many enthusiastic teeth!
ReplyDeleteHey there! So sad to think that all of these books have been packed away again. Now they only have each other to lead astray into lives filled with carcinogens, obscene gestures, and frightful, gaping maws.
ReplyDeletei hope you are finding new and magical ones to momentarily savor this summer! perhaps a guidebook for toddlers on how to avoid hangovers (because we;ve learned that anything can, and will, exist)
