Review:This simple story of a peach and toad is very touching.Blue, a boy toad, helped Peach from high in her tree. she tells him: ``I wish I could see what the rest of the world is like.'' Though Blue thinks it's just "all right,'' he plucks her from her branch and pushes her around in a twig toboggan. In a brief shift into rhyme, Peach exclaims over the ``beautiful colors'' she sees: ``the blue of your belly, of afternoon's sky,/ the brown of the bank, of the eider duck's eye.''. This is a well-illustrate book and I like the friendship between Blue and Peach and through the process of helping Peach, both of them gain happiness for Peach helped Blue to see the world anew and Blue helped Peach the rest of the world that she had never seen.
This is a fantasy book because the story setting is not real but the plot is logical and coherent.The story is between two non-human being, the toad and a peach, and the story if full of imagination but also ended with some valuable lesson that we can learn from. ( )

I love this book - the illustrations and the story. Peach longs to see the world and Blue, her toad friend, helps her to do that. They both learn from each other and though their time together is short - it is lovely. ( )
