BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Toasty wishes he was a dog. He knows he's different - doesn't have 4 legs, sleeps in a toaster, has no hair or fur, made of bread, but maybe if he went to the park, they'd play with him. But when the other dogs chase Toasty, he has to hide - on a piece of bread on a sandwich. The girl who wants to eat the sandwich knows Toasty is just what she's been looking for. 

Oh, quite silly, and, odd. A piece of toast with a face and arms and legs that wants to be a dog. Almost like the gingerbread man. The illustrations were flat, the dogs strange sizes. Not my taste.
