A Mole, A Rat, A Beaver, and that Toad

The Wind in the WillowsI have a secret. I love children's literature. It may be a young adult series or a kids book or a fable, but there is something magical in books written toward the kid audience. Grahamae's The Wind and Willows has that magic. As a kid, I know I saw the movie and heard the tale of the wreck-less Toad and his loyal friends.

In the fable tale, Rat takes in Mole as they go through their daily life on the River. Toad wrecks his way through life and other adventures. In the end, his friends help him learn a valuable lesson. One of my favorite ideas about this book is the simple messages the author created to teach children and adults a like.  The great descriptions and charterers have been for ever instilled into children's literature.


Happy Reading... Finishing Cat's Cradle Tonight
