\"Book<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In his garden or on the road,
oh so dapper is Bait the Toad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his quiet beginnings on the banks of the Rio Grande River to rising TikTok star, Bait remains a humble toad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His polymer clay hats range from seasonal to casual to fancy, each custom-made by his photographer\/caretaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the natural world is his first love, and he’s become very fond of orchids, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Includes his style tips for toads and a reminder that “frogs and toads are entirely different – and while frogs must be kissed to become princes, toads are plenty royal on their own, thank you very much.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This small-format book of Bait’s most charming photos is a great gift for amphibian lovers and a fun story-starter for kids – “what journey are Bait and the orange cat starting?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite type of hat?
