Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Everybody Toots

Jonny Leighton · 2025
70/100
👍 Worth It

Exactly what it needs to be: a bouncy, rhyming read-aloud that tells toddlers the thing they most need to hear — that the embarrassing thing that just happened to them happens to everybody, including dragons. The animal cast is broad and fun, and Byrne's illustrations sound like they deliver on the energy the text promises. This genre is crowded, but for the right age it does its job warmly.
