Summary
Accompanied by fascinating facts about Couch's spadefoot toad and other desert animals, an exciting read-aloud picture book captures the life cycle of a rare toad as she digs deep in the ground and listens for various noises such as the skitter, skitter, scratch of a scorpion and the plop, thunk, gussssshhhhhh of rain.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The desert Southwest
is full of sounds.
Skitter, skitter, scratch.
A scorpion is crawling.
Pop, pop, pop.
kangaroo rat is hopping.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
A rattlesnake is
shaking its tail.
But the spadefoot toad
is quiet in her
underground burrow,
listening for one sound
in particular...
What is that sound?
And what will the
spadefoot toad do
when she hears it?
