Hoppy has a lot of friends who warn him on his travels.  There is a storm coming, and he does not seem to care.  He just wants to sit on his lily pad in the sun.  

If a storm is coming, where is the sun?  This story is a cute adventure about choices, paying attention, and listening skills.  I found that is was clever, funny, and has great pictures.  This was a great add to my bookshelves for reading to my favorite kids!  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

***This early edition was given in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyed this TEOTWAWKI young adult novel. I found the ending to be very rushed and about a quarter of the way in, I realized that every time the character was happy about something- person, impending project, etc. it never ended well. This easily recognizable pattern took some of the wind out of the sails for this book, for me. Rating two stars, which sums it up perfectly, 'it was ok' (Goodreads standard of ratings).

So a quarter into Totaled  and the hero and heroine still haven't met yet. Most of that build up, IMO is filler rather than actual necessary bits of storytelling. Can you grrrr?!

I'm pretty sure they're going to meet any minute now though, but I'm close to knocking on the 'I don't care anymore' door, so I'm not even sure I'll make it that far.
