Toasty

What is the proper level of preposterousness for a picture book, especially one about a piece of toast that thinks it's a dog? Whatever it is, Sarah Hwang hits the perfect balance of logic and absurdity in her debut. Can a piece of toast, like our hero Toasty, roll in a puddle like a dog? Of course not: it gets soggy! But can Toasty bark like a dog? Surprisingly, yes! You'll laugh and root for this intrepid piece of bread as he finds his ideal home. (Ages 2 to 5)
