About this product

Product Information

Toestomper is mean, rude, and disgusting. Along with his friends Nightmare, Basher, and Barfy-the Rowdy Ruffians-he loves to make trouble and pick on folks. But when a slew of warm and fuzzy caterpillars begin following Toestomper around and look up at him with their pleading eyes, he's not sure what to do. He yells at them to leave but they still won't go, and then they start to look a bit cold huddling outside Toestomper's hut. Gradually the fuzzy furballs wend their way into Toestomper'slife. But what will the Rowdy Ruffians think of Toestomper's change of heart?

Reviews
Cuddly illustrations accompany a weak, pointless story of one character's transition from tough guy to tenderheart. Toestomper and his friends the Rowdy Ruffians, a rough-and-tough band of rodent and reptile characters, like to act ''mean, rude, and disgusting.'' When Toestomper stumbles upon a bush of caterpillars, he stomps the bush flat, leaving the caterpillars homeless. Toestomper's change of heart is without logic or motivation; he uncharacteristically offers them water and a soft bed, and adopts them as new friends, to the disgust of his longtime pals. The mixed message of the finale implies that Toestomper and his new pals always cheat at cards in order to beat the Rowdy Ruffians. The mediocre thinking behind the story outweighs any charm found in the illustrations; the contrast between the cozy, pet-like animals and their bullying behavior is funny, but it's an effect that is wasted here., Cuddly illustrations accompany a weak, pointless story of one character's transition from tough guy to tenderheart.
