Zach’s friends had frogs to jump and race.

They held contests all over the place

to see how far they’d jump and go.

They really put on quite a show.

Zach wanted a frog so he could play

with the other boys and their frogs all day.

He looked for hours without finding a frog

but then he spotted a toad on a log…

…a most unusual purple toad with yellow stripes. Together they begin a great adventure and the poor toad finds itself on the back of the bucking-est bull that ever lived!

From endearing, cheerful rhymes to brightly colored, full-of-life illustrations, Russ Towne’s Zach and the Toad Who Rode a Bull teaches children that friends can come in all shapes and sizes, and that it isn’t the size of the person it’s the size of their heart that matters. Towne is the author of nine captivating children’s books. For ages 3–7.
