When I was still a kids librarian at the first meeting of the season we did introductions. I always asked the same thing: favorite book, and hated book.
This book was mentioned more times than any other (required reading at one school). My library did t have it, and I‘d never seen it at any other library. We went to pick the bones of the closing catholic school and look what I found. 👀👀.
I bought it just to see how bad it is. 😁
LiteraryinPA Ahh, so this was the most hated, not the favorite? You never know! 6y
LibrarianRyan @LiteraryinLititz yep. It was required reading at one school and every kid who went to that school hated this book. 6y
Daisey I used to have this book on my class shelf (but it walked off), and I still have Toad Heaven. I don‘t know that any kids specifically hated it, but I never had much luck recommending it. I found it somewhat amusing, and a story from the perspective of an Australian cane toad seemed unique to me. 6y
