A favorite chapter book is back, for read aloud or read alone.While on a journey to visit his aunt, Warton the Toad is captured by a surly owl who announces plans to eat Warton for his birthday dinner on the upcoming Tuesday. As he awaits his fate, Warton works gamely to make his remaining days as pleasant as possible while he also seeks some way to escape and tries to convince the owl to let him go. Naturally, Warton and Owl talk. But what the pair don't realize is how quickly even the oddest of friendships may form.
