‘Uncle Bart,’ said Limpy. ‘Why do humans hate us?’ Uncle Bart looked down at Limpy, and smiled fondly. ‘Stack me,’ he chuckled, ‘you are an idiot.’

Limpy’s family are in danger of being squashed by the cars people drive on the road. Knowing this, the young toad decides he has to change humans’ opinions of toads as it would be the only way to save them. His plan is to save their world, and his journey takes him far and wide.
