Babies - Children - Multiple Births
Feb. 26 Ronnie Has a Giant Toad to Play With A giant toad may not be every child's choice of a toy, but to 2 years old Ronnie White of Hornsey Rise, it is as familiar a toy as Teddy bears and stuffed rabbits are to other children. Ronnie is the son of Mr. Leonard A. White Secretary of the National Aquarists Society and a member of the British Herpetological Society and the toad affectionately known as Belinda is one of the queer pets he keeps round the house. Belinda is a giant toad from South America, she weighs 1 1/2 lbs and eats small rats. Her favourite spot to sit is inside a basin and Ronnie has a great fun coaxing her out for a stroll round the dinning room table. From June 11th to the 13th little Ronnie will be without his pet for Belinda is being shown at the National Aquarium Exhibition which is being held on those three days at the Royal Horticultural Hall. You're a bit near the edge, Belinda cautions young Ronnie White, as he puts protecting hands out to save Belinda from falling off the table
