Toady (voiced by Jenny McAlpine)

A tin toad with a short temper. She often gets mad at Ted and the two often argue. When angry her eyes bulge out, making her quite humorous.

Plot

Each episode begins with a boy leaving his bedroom for school. Toady and Ted both come to life and Freddy the Mouse jumps out of his Globe. Ted and Toady will sometimes argue, and Freddy will then tell a story from a specific part of the world. The story will usually follow the antics of a certain animal (a dingo for example) and tell fictional stories of what the animals get up to using Amphropomorphism. During the story Ted and Toady will sometimes speak to each other and ask Freddy questions about the animals in the story. After Freddy has finished the story, the boy will arrive back home and everyone will rush back to their original positions that they were in before the boy left (apart from Freddy, who goes back inside his globe).
