Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - One of my favorites
Growing up I didn't read much at all. My parents started to bribe me for each page I read, but it wasn't until I read authors like Bruce Coville that I really got into stories.

Jennifer Murdley's Toad is one of my all time favorite. Along with Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, it's my favorite of the magic shop books.

The characters are likeable and full of depth, and using Charles Perrault's "The Fairies" as a basis was brilliant. I love tales centered on legend and folklore and old fairy tales, it adds to them a believability and richness.

If you've ever felt as though you were a girl (or boy) in a plain brown wrapper...if you've ever longed to stumble into a magic shop and come away with an adventure, this is a story you'd enjoy.

Though intended for children, it's still one I can pick up with fondness and immerse myself in again.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A very good book
This book is good for third and fourth graders. It is about a toad that can talk and has a personality. It is a fun book because it is magical, mysterious, and fun at the same time. I have liked the other books in the series too.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - "Most mirrors are mere errors"
Jennifer Murdley isn't a pretty girl. Jennifer gets picked on a lot by her looks in school. But, when Jennifer gets Bufo from a magic shop, things change. Bufo has the gift of speech (and not the gift of silence!). Bufo can mimic voices and noises with ease. Soon, Jennifer saves her little brother from an evil witch that wants Bufo. Not as good as some of the other books in the Magic Shop series.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - jennifer murdley's toad
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. MY FAVORITE PART IS WHEN SHE DISCOVERED THE TOAD COULD TALK. ONE OF MY OTHER FAVORITE BOOKS IF JEREMY THATHER DRAGON HATCHER. I RECOMMEND BOTH THESE BOOKS. BRITTANY,



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - The mystical magical wonderful book.
The book was about a girl named Jennifer and a toad that she bought from a magic shop for a school project about pets. The only thing she did not know about the toad was that the toad,bufo, could talk. I would recomend this book to people who like Fairy tales , or books with magic. The characters in this story are Jennifer ,Ellen, Mr Elives, Sharra, Skippy, Brandon,Mrs.Murdley, and Bufo the toad. My opinion of this story was that it was not so good but ok. I thought the book was boring.
