Olly the Terrified Toad — Kristine Iskierka

Olly is a toad with parents who love him so much that they worry about everything. When Olly is finally big enough to play outside, his protective momma and poppa tell the toad to hide if he ever sees a shadow in the sky.

It is not long before a shadow appears from above, prompting a terrified Olly to quickly stick his fingers and toes in his nose and hide. When he is certain the shadow has disappeared, Olly hops along until he meets a new friend who teaches him an important lesson.

In this heartwarming children's story, a terrified toad finds a way to cope with his fears, with help from a spotted pal.
