Toad on the Road

Who's that coming down the road?

Oh yikes! Oh yikes!

It's a bear on a bike.

About the Author

Stephen Shaskan grew up in Upstate New York, graduated from Rhode Island School of Design, and moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to become a rock star! Since then Stephen has played in four rock bands. He has taught art classes for the Minnesota Museum of American Art, St. Paul Academy's Artward Bound program, and Jordan Park School of Extended Learning, a Minneapolis Public School. Stephen now works as a children's book author and illustrator, and as an early childhood educator at the Seward Child Care Center, where his musical talents have brought him rock star status among the children at the center.
