PreS-K. Why did the toad cross the road? To get to the other side, of course. In Yolen's simple picture book for preschoolers, a toad and his reptilian desert buddies attempt to cross a road in front of an oncoming truck: "Hop--toad! Hop, hop / across that road." What could be a toad-al disaster is luckily avoided because the father and son (and dog) in the truck spot the reckless amphibian in time to stop. They crawl under the truck, locate the toad in question, and set him free: "Hop toad, / off that road." Schmidt's expressive paintings get right down to road--and toad--level, so the perspectives on the approaching red truck and reaching human hands are quite dramatic. Psychedelic desert skies add a surreal touch to this suspenseful, appealingly understated story of tragedy narrowly averted. Karin Snelson
