From my perspective — as a person who tries to write something worth reading — it has always seemed to me that writing for children must be the most difficult of undertakings in all of literature. Those who can do it well deserve high…

This justifiably famous book is one of my all-time favorites. Don't be mislead & thereby miss reading it because it's a children's book. If it is such, by a great stretch of the imagination, then this "child" is an extremely…

A classic book that everyone should read (or re-read!). I love the silly characters, the deep connection to nature, but I really wanted a different ending for Toad!

The gang's all here and living their beloved adventures in this classic tale. It's about four pals - Toad, Badger, Mole and Water Rat - and the mischief they get themselves in and out of, but ultimately it's about the bonds of friendship.

Timeless. This is just such a wonderful book. If you liked this and need something a little denser and more mature, try your hand at 'Watership Down'.

I brought this camping with me and read parts of it next to a river and it was SUPERB.
Vibrant, ambling and elegant prose throughout, the emotional and descriptive mole and rat chapters are contrasted with the hilarious Toad "plot"…

I just absolutely loved this book! I read it to my 3rd & 4th grade Literature class and they were entranced from the start. I laughed as much as they did and I think I enjoyed it even more than the children. I ended up buying a copy - I…
First published in 1908, "The Wind in the Willows" has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of children and adults alike for over a century. A story about loyalty and friendship, Grahame's book follows the story of bashful Mole, wise…

I loved this book as a child and I still like to re-read it occasionally. It is such a gentle story but at the same time deals with the big important ideas like friendship, courage, honesty and responsibility. I must say that as a kid I…

I much preferred drifting in boats with Rat and Mole, and visiting Badger in his hidden home in the woods, over storming Toad Hall to reclaim it for its irresponsible master. I had a hard time getting along with the arrogant Toad, and can…

Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad!
Gypsy caravans, messing around in boats, washer-woman escapes, wicked weasles. What more could you ask for in a children's classic? Brilliant!
