Nice introduction to the famous characters
I have managed to collect probably too many versions of the Kenneth Grahame's classic book, The Wind in The Willows, as it has been illustrated by so many good artists including Michael Hague, Ernest SHepherd, Arthur Rackham, Seth Lerer, Robert Ingpen, Patrick Benson and others. The book on this page is a abridged short version from smaller children not yet ready to tackle the whole book. The full page illustrations by Inga Moore are exquisite, and the illustrator has also done art for a full version of the book. This book is a good way to get kids interested in the "big book" with the hope they will be motivated to tackle it someday.

Extremely Unhappy
I purchased two of "The Adventures of Mr. Toad: from the Wind In the Willows by Kenneth Graphame for $44.32 each, which were supposed to be new books.I am upset about what were sent to me.The first book was a Walt Disney 6X8.5 size child's book worth not more than $5.00.The second was the correct book but used, and from the Marion Public Library in Ohio.

Beautiful!
a classic story with beautiful, soft illustrations.these are the stories children will remember as they grow up.i started reading these stories to my son as soon as i brought him home from the hospital.although i wont know for sure for many years, he seemed to listen and enjoy the stories...although others may deem them full of "verbalization" (huh?), i call them beautiful words strung together for the enjoyment of children of all ages.

wind in the willows
This book review is about the book wind in the willows. The author of this book is Kenneth Graham. This book is about a water mouse and a mole who made friends on the side of a river bed. In the storie they have many daring adventures together. I thought this book was too long and very boring. It's something I wouldn't recommend because the stories have too much verbalization in it.

Fantastic illustrations...
Inga Moore has to be among the best illustrators I've seen for "Wind in the Willows."Lots of lovely pictures that capture the spirit of the book.I rank her artwork right up with Eric Kincaid's... ... Read more

Bertie's Adventures
I bought this out of print book for my grandson Bertie who loved to read the adventures of Bertie the pig.A lovely story enjoyable for children to read and adults to read aloud to children.

A Christmas Classic
It is our family's tradition to read Bertie's Escapade every Christmas Eve, before the children go to bed. This is done with much sharing of the marvelous illustrations. One of "Wind in the Willows" author Kenneth Grahame's creations, Bertie is a pig whose motto, "Deeds, not grunts" should offer inspiration to politicians everywhere. Scaling the palings of his sty, Bertie leads his companions, Benjy and Peter to sing Christmas carols in the dead of night before the stately mansion of wealthy neighbors. Unfortunately, no one can sing on key and the neighbors let loose the dogs. Escaping by a secret elevator located in Chalk Pit Hill, Bertie and his companions return to Mayfair (home of Mr Grahame). Bertie raids the larder and returns to his sty with bottles of champagne and lots of goodies. While the Escapade does not take place exactly on Christmas Eve, the setting is close enough. The writing is droll and Mr Grahame pokes fun at himself in the story. Children age 4 and older will enjoy the tale. Adults will experience a sense of nostalgia for a time past. It's an absolute shame that this book is out-of-print. Re-introduced to the world, it could sell hundreds of thousands of copies. ... Read more
