About this listen

Limpy the toad has a vision. A world where cane toads and humans play mudslides together and help each other with the shopping. But how does a young cane toad discover the ancient secret of living in peace with humans? First he has to dodge the killer trucks and supermarket trolleys. Then he has to stop his cousin declaring war on the entire human race.©2003 Creative Input Pty Ltd.

Editorial reviews

Award-winning children’s author Morris Gleitzman returns to the world of the fearless cane toad in this hilarious adventure. Unlike most of his friends and family, Limpy the Toad envisions a world where humans and toads can live in peace, free from the constant threat of being squashed by giant feet and even bigger truck tires. With Gleiztman handling the performance himself, Toad Away jumps to life and Limpy’s international journey from Australia to the Amazon quickly becomes a comical and touching story about differences and acceptance.
