A toad goes crazy about motorcycles. We read this in class.

First of all, i'd like to say that it's my first experience reading english book. And whoa, because i'm not used to read in english, it was like 'trouble' for me to read english book. But honestly i'm not dissapointed at all!

I start to read in english because yeah, can i say that it's interesting to read in english?

At first 10 pages, i still don't know what the author wants to tell me. But after 30 or 50 pages, i started to know the story itself. And of course, because i'm a beginner, everytime i found words that i don't understand, i searched it on my dictionary and wrote it on my notebook xD.

For the story itself, this book sure can entertain readers from kids till adult readers. But in my opinion, this book has a lot of difficult words for a beginner like me. Because now i'm reading contemporary YA novel, for you--who start reading english books--i prefer you start with YA novel because it has easier words and the words/vocabulary used are daily conversation.

This book has a good moral value to everyone. Be a loyal friends, whoever your friends are, they are still your friends ;)

"It was like, 'Oh no! Here come the police officers. Run!'"

Mama says a great book to expose a young reader to new vocabulary. The woods are a bit haunting and Toads delirium for driving cars a tad strange, but Moles desire to see the world was a nice point of conversation while reading.

Such a beautiful story. Love it. Can read it many times over.

[Kristina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely abridged version of the classic story. I just finished reading the ebook to my 8 month old son and he seemed to appreciate it.

[Hannah · Rating 2 out of 5]

I tried to read this a bedtime story but my kids (6 and 9) couldn’t get into it at all. They liked the idea of it, and I had fond memories of being read this as a child, but it wasn’t the book for us.
My 9 year old made it through the first three chapters and then didn’t want to listen anymore. I made it halfway before my 6 year old asked why we couldn’t read something more interesting... even though it’s supposed to be a modern retelling, I still reworded it a lot when I read it out loud.
what a shame.

Having never read or watched The Wind in the Willows before, I picked this book up in my 40th year and decided to read it. I had visions of lovely days on the river, animals talking gaily to each other, maybe little adventures. I certainly wasn't prepared for crime, hate, jail-breaking and zero apologies for misdoings! Quite boring at times, with over-explaining. However, in a strange way, I'm glad I read it to satisfy my curiosity.

[Himanshi (Bookishlove) · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was actually a 3.5/5⭐ read. It was fast paced in the start but soon with every chapter it became better and better. The toad was all fun to read , ratty was very cute and gave some very important life lessons since the very first chapter . Mole was always ready for an adventure......and Mr. Badger was really adorable . This book consisted of events ready to entertain the readers of all ages .

[Carolyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am re-reading this book and it is delightful! I love the vocabulary, the descriptions of the little underground domiciles of the animals in the wintertime. It's all so cozy and in this winter storm, it's so appropriate to our situation. I love this book.

I am reading Kenneth Graham's original version, not the adapted one by Woodside.

[Bob · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very fun children's story. No major 'the moral of the story is' in this delightful story, but one that lends itself easily to parents reading this to or with their children to interject life lessons along the way.

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm glad I started with the Classic Starts version. It was nice to be introduced to the characters and see their friendship. I like that Toad changed for the better eventually and that his friends stood by him. I didn't love the story or find it very memorable but overall it was good.

[Gwen Kubberness · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely adorable story I love all the animals I love their Adventure I did not understand that this was a children's book but I thoroughly enjoyed it it was a nice little break and I'm going to buy another one for all my grandchildren

[Marissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this abridged version to see if it was appropriate as the next read-aloud book for my kids. I also never read this classic as a child so I wanted to read the abridged first, then the unabridged to see how they compare.

This was the first book I picked up when I told myself I would begin reading!

Really nice tale and would recommend to people

A true classic, never goes out of style. An enduring story with enchanting characters, imaginative situations, and well-worth sharing with the youngsters in your life.

[Amelia King · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read this twice

[Qin Zhong · Rating 4 out of 5]

my suggestion, just read the first half :)
//the story tells, the toad is troublesome while the rat and the mole are lovely

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the BBC radio production of The Wind in the Willows from back in the day when sound effects were made with tin pans, etc. It was hilarious in every way.

[Joy Gerbode · Rating 3 out of 5]

I hadn't read this in many, many years. I didn't enjoy it as much this time around as I remember it, but still fun reading.

[Mikel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved reading this easier version of the book with my kids so much that I am picking up the original unabridged book now.

[Natalie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Join the ever impetuous Toad, loyal Mole, resourceful Rat, and wise Badger on their adventures together. These four are a good mix of personalities.

[Vini Fadhilah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this book. Calming and soothing.

[Jamye · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a cute story. My 4 year old gives it 5 stars and so do I!

[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a wonderful book full of animals - some more serious than others and one, Mr. Toad, who truly does his own thing his own way with the others often helping him out. A fun winter read.
