Tarde de sapo

"Ozzstrazz, how boring the toad is," thought the mosquito. "If only I knew how to distract him..." After the mosquito came the snail, the ant, the spider, the dragonfly, the centipede, and finally the grasshopper, who wasn't about to join that nutritious entourage.

Toad Afternoon is a hilarious picture book with a steadily building narrative pace that leads the reader to its unexpected ending.

Its characters express themselves in a peculiar way, using sound play and onomatopoeia, resources that support the story and help give them personality. Maite Mutuberria uses a style close to comics, with movement cues, gestures, speech bubbles, and abundant symbolic elements that accentuate the humorous nature of the story.
