Sean Hinton's first book is an illustrated poem about Toby, a red car, a dog, and a toad, who take a drive through the English countryside. Take a journey with Toby, a car who loves to speed and share his cake with friends he meets along the way, Dog who likes to read maps, and a family of toads. They even journey through the night and see the sun rise in the morning. Dog has brought a map with him so they shouldn't get lost... Discover what happens when Toby drives too fast, Dog misreads his map, and Toad almost gets squished! Find out how Toad's family come to the rescue and Toby learns his lesson - not to drive too fast.
This rhyming story was written by Sean for his children when they were young. His task was to invent a story about their family pet dog, their family MG classic car, and a toad, and this is the delightful result. Sean himself has had a varied career; he has served as Royal Marine Commando, a Firefighter, and an Electrician, and is of course a member of the MG Owners Club.
Toby, Toad, 'n' Dog on the Road has been made especially appealing for young children by using, full-colour, double-page illustrations, by R M Price-Mohr, that depict the countryside and local Worcestershire wildlife.
