This book for young readers (ages 2 - 5) is the first in a series of books (both story books and activity books) about the adventures of Lou, a brown Newfoundland, and his toad friend, Todd. Inspired by the author's real-life brown Newfoundland.
Here is the publisher's blurb:
"When the snow melts and spring peeks through, Lou the big, gentle Newfoundland dog sets off on an adventure in his backyard. There, he meets Todd — a tiny, lively toad! As Lou carefully follows Todd through muddy puddles and grassy fields, a sweet and unlikely friendship begins to bloom. One fluffy. One bumpy.
Full of laughter, patience, kindness, muddy paws and a few splashes of drool, The Adventures of Lou and Todd shows that true friends can come in all shapes and sizes.
Filled with vibrant illustrations, playful scenes, and a heartwarming message, this delightful story is perfect for young readers ages 2-5 who love animals, springtime adventures, and big, fluffy Newfoundlands!"
