Meet four lovable animal characters in The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. As the story begins, we meet Mole, who grows tired of his thorough spring cleaning and can’t resist a break to enjoy the spring weather above his den. He ambles along, enjoying the sunshine and the busyness of the other animals until he comes to the river, which entrances him with its sights and sounds; he has never seen a river before. Water Rat finds him in this state, introduces himself, and they instantly become friends. Rat then invites Mole on a picnic, where he is introduced to Rat's other river-dwelling friends. From that point on, Mole accompanies his river friends on all sorts of adventures, from a venture in the Wild Wood to see Mr. Badger, to an ill-fated road trip with Mr. Toad's gypsy cart, to a mission to stop Mr. Toad from tearing up the highways and scattering frightened animals with his new motor car. A delightful, whimsical read where each animal has a proper and unique personality, this is a great read-aloud! This illustrated classic includes occasional full-page black-and-white illustrations that bring the story to life! Unabridged; please note there are a couple of potentially offensive words. 184 pages, softcover.
