Author Biography ELISE GRAVEL is an award-winning author/illustrator from Quebec. She has won a Governor Generals Award for Childrens Illustration in French, and is well-known for her original, wacky picture books and graphic novels. After completing her studies in graphic design, Elise found herself quickly swept up into the glamorous world of illustration. Her old design habits drive her to work a little text here and there into her drawings and she loves to handle the design of her assignments from start to finish. She is inspired by social causes and likes projects that can handle a good dose of eccentricity. The author lives in Montreal, Quebec. Review "Having surveyed worms, spiders, flies, and head lice, Gravel continues her Disgusting Critters series with a quick hop through toad fact and fancy .... A light dose of natural history, with occasional "EWWW!" for flavor." - Kirkus Reviews"Gravel uses her obvious passion for seemingly unlovable creatures to excite the curiosity of young readers .... What sets this book apart from other early readers is the engaging humor. Gravels cartoonish illustrations will keep children involved with the material and the important environmental message." - School Library Journal"One of the highlights of the book is the toad eating her skin with a bottle of ketchup and a giant "Ewww!" speech bubble. I have a five-year-old in my house who, after reading this book, went around quoting this page for the rest of the day." - CM Magazine"Using a cartoon framework, Gravel rattles off fast facts accompanied by wisecracking amphibians, giving spreads the feel of a gag strip .... Young readers will squeal and squirm .... Kids will readily respond to Gravels hilarious illustrations, simple sentences, and dynamic fonts, as well as her call to help toads by keeping the planet clean." - Booklist Review Quote Praise for previous Disgusting Critters : "Gross-out potential, for sure--but also likely to give larval entomologists a mild buzz..."- Kirkus Reviews "Each page has incredible visual appeal and is very eye-catching.... Gravels ability to turn the most disgusting fact into an adorable drawing is remarkable.... This series is a must-read for children who like the worlds most unlikeable creatures. Highly Recommended." - CM Magazine "Fact-filled enough to satisfy those interested in flies, yet with enough charm to grab those who arent. This is a great entry into a series kids will likely latch onto." - School Library Journal Details ISBN177049667X Author Elise Gravel Short Title TOAD Pages 32 Language English ISBN-10 177049667X ISBN-13 9781770496675 Media Book Format Hardcover DEWEY 597.87 Audience Age 6-9 Series Disgusting Critters Year 2016 Publication Date 2016-07-05 Imprint Tundra Books Subtitle The Disgusting Critters Series Country of Publication Canada Place of Publication Ontario Publisher Tundra Books Illustrations FULL COLOUR THROUGHOUT Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
