Review
Kid Sheriff and the Terrible Toads is a humorous picture book set in the wild west. The Toad brothers are bad news; they run loose through the town of Drywater Gulch. They rob banks, steal cattle, and “insult your chili.” When Kid Sheriff slowly rides into town on his tortoise, the Toad brothers have met their match. The Kid uses reverse psychology to outsmart the villains and clean up the town. Witty dialogue matched with Lane Smith’s comic-style illustrations. Read aloud Kids Sheriff and the Terrible Toads in story time, and you’ll have them rolling on the floor laughing.
