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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
