Walker Books, Australia: 1980, 2010

ISBN: 9781921529481

Genre: picture book

‘I'm Taggarty Toad! Dashing and daring, cunning and clever, bigger and bolder and braver than most. I'm quite indestructible, terribly wise and I've done unbelievable things...'

The boastful Taggarty Toad is full of remarkable tales of his adventures, discoveries and miraculous escapes. Can he really have done all these things? And if so, what might happen if one of his former foes comes looking for him?

Before Graeme Base, there was Peter Pavey with his quirky sense of humour and incredibly detailed drawings. As with all the best picture books, in I'm Taggarty Toad the illustrations carry most of the story and then some; readers will enjoy poring over the pages looking for all the minute details that enrich this remarkable text. Visual readers, especially, will find Pavey's work absorbing and stimulating.
