Burnt Toast on Davenport Street

by Tim Egan

Burnt Toast on Davenport Street Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When a magic fly grants Arthur Crandall three wishes, he's not very impressed, especially since he doesn't believe in magic flies. So he's not particularly careful about what he wishes for: a new toaster, a solution to the bullies down on the street corner, and, for his third wish . . . let's just say that life on Davenport Street will never be the same for the Crandalls. The creator of the critically acclaimed Friday Night at Hodges' Cafe and Metropolitan Cow now brings us a tour de force in humor and storytelling. Egan has created an inviting world on Davenport Street where Stella and Arthur Crandall, two good-natured dogs who have an incredible, magical experience and react much as youor I would - with a combination of disbelief and willingness.

Review:

'\"Sure to be popular with fans of James Marshall\'s George and Martha books, this will be an amusing story-time crowd-pleaser.\"'
