Simple, but cute. Nice message about how we all need help. The rhyming sentences and all the animals make it a fun read. Perfect to read to toddlers because there are not very many words.

Cute book! I thought the illustrations were done well and worked nicely with the overall theme. The only thing I will say about the drawings is there seemed to be some things in the pictures (i.e. people on cell phones after a crash) that kids wouldn't relate to or appreciate. This isn't necessarily a problem, and it gives something for the adults reading along to observe, it was just something I noticed.

Lastly, although it wasn't super in-your-face, I did appreciate the subtle moral of the story, and it was plainly spelled out for the readers, which was great. The moral was also important: everyone needs help sometimes, and everyone can - and should - ask for help when they need it. The ending was heartwarming as well, because Toad then realizes he doesn't need to be burning himself out helping others and he can take time for himself and his family sometimes, too.

Everybody needs help sometimes! Toad has an important job because someone always needs his help. He helps one person after another after another, until, in the end, he needs help too! This is a really cute book with bright illustrations. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this adorable picture book

I received an ARC of this children's book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is an adorable book. The pictures are really cute and so is the story!

Toad loves to help. He’s a tow truck driver. Toad is so busy, he doesn’t stop. That is until he tow truck breaks down. He tries to fix it, but no luck. Then he realizes everyone needs help sometimes, even him. He calls his dad to help. Dad brings the big truck and tows him home.

What great book with a great message. I know some transportation lovers, that are going to love this book. Great transportation book for preschoolers. Just the right length and a great message on top of it!

My car loving 3 year old read this book 4 times in a row! It's a very cute story showing that everyone needs help sometime, and it's always okay. It does this while showing adorable pictures of all different types of animals driving different colors and types of cars.
This book will be one that's often reread in our house, and I highly recommend!

Such a fun cute read! Follows the character Toad who is a car mechanic/tower who helps others with their car. The story teaches that it’s okay to ask for help . I found this book to be kid funny especially at the end. The beginning reminds me of little bit like like a dr. Seuss books. Pictures are great - Not overwhelming but not too little imagery. Quick read too, so I would recommend for toddlers/young kids to read. Plan on buying myself to have a physical copy to reread again. Thank you for the arc Netgalley!

Adorable, I love how inventive all of the names were! I like that it showed a lot of scenarios that involved cars and trucks that kids love to see but it also teaches a good lesson.

This book was so cute! I loved the illustrations and toad helping everyone.
This will be a fun read for any transportation loving kids.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

A nice Richard Scarry style story. This is a good choice for vehicle lovers. It's also a nice lesson about accepting help when you're frustrated and that nobody is perfect.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I think that my 5 year old nephew will enjoy Towed by Toad. He will be home for spring break soon and I'm anxious to get his opinion. (I'll update my post after we read it together.)

Text and digital illustrations by Jashar Awan were age appropriate for a 5 year old.
