Limpy the Toad has a vision. A world where cane toads and humans play mudslides together. And help each other with the shopping. And share their slug sauce and maggot moisturizer. But how does a young cane toad discover the ancient secret of living in peace with humans? In his third adventure, Limpy will travel all the way to South America's Amazon rain forest to find out.

Review:

"Limpy the cane toad continues his persistent efforts to teach humans not to hate his species. Limpy keeps dead 'rellies' (relatives) stacked up in his room, much to the chagrin of his mother, who would prefer a clean room. Embarking on a heroic expedition, Limpy hops (pun intended) planes from his home in Australia to the Amazon, in search of the ancient secret of keeping the peace with humans. Remarkable encounters delight the listener – especially with the carrier pigeons, who reluctantly carry amphibian passengers but refuse to tolerate their complaints. Author Morris Gleitzman is a talented reader who has a twinkle in his voice." (AudioFile Magazine)
