4.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Classic, December 12, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows (Hardcover)

I read the book Wind In The Willows and it was one of the best books I have read. I thought that The book was just going to be an old classic and boring book. But now after reading it, I realize that everybody should read the book once in their lifetime.

The setting of the book is in the Wild Wood and along the river banks. There are many charming characters such as the handsome Mole, the wise and old Badger, the caring and brave Water Rat, and who could forget the crazy and adventurers Toad. There are weasels and ferrets who try to over run Toad Hall.

It all starts when Mole decides to go boating with Ratty instead of doing his annual spring cleaning. He finds a world he never knew was even there. He discovers the Wild Wood, a long river, Toad Hall, and many friends. Mole meets many new friends and lives with Ratty for a while. They all become quick friends. It made me feel happy for Mole when he made friends instead of being shy.

Yet, my least favorite character, Toad tests their great friendship. The reckless Toad gets a hobbie of motorcars and gets taken to the prison for speeding and driving crazy. This made mad me at Toad because he endangered all of the animals. I thought the poor Toad was done for good but no. He manages to escape. Toad gets the washerwomen's outfit and sneaks out of the prison and makes it all the way home. I was amazed at how clever he was to get out. I was glad that Toad got out because the friends could continue their great friendship.

Meanwhile, Water Rat's good friend Otter's son has gone missing. When I read this I was scared because Portly was just a young pup. After a long time searching, they found him alive sitting in all the snow. I was very happy that they had found him.

When the toad comes home he finds that the weasels and ferrets are taking over Toad Hall. Toad gets angry. I would be angry too if someone tried to take over my hall. This is where the wise Badger comes in handy. He knows of an old underground passage to take that leads to Toad Hall. Water Rat collects all his swords and guns to use. Toad goes crazy saying things like "They all go boom." They end up taking back the great Hall and that was a good thing for Toad and everyone.

Wind in the Willows was an awesome book to read for a great plot and fun characters. It is a book for all ages of readers. I enjoyed it and I hope you will too.
