This book is about friendship. There are four main characters: a mole, a rat, a badger, and a toad. The story begins when the mole heads out of his burrow. He sees the rat, who is just about to go paddling. He decides to go paddling with the rat. An otter comes by, and agrees to have lunch with them. Halfway through lunch, the badger comes by. At the moment, he is shy and walks away. then, when the mole and the rat paddle away, disaster struck. The mole gets a turn to row, and accidentally capsized the boat. The rat rescues some of the items dropped, but loses the luncheon basket. They have many adventures, and meet many new friends. The story ends with the toad, who is arrogant, boastful, and vainglory, totally changing.
The Wind in the Willows (Illustrated Audio-eBook)
By Kenneth Grahame, Inga Moore
“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
Meet little Mole, willful Ratty, Badger the perennial bachelor, and petulant Toad. In the almost one hundred years since their first appearance in 1908, they've become emblematic archetypes of eccentricity, folly, and friendship. And their misadventures-in gypsy caravans, stolen sports cars, and their Wild Wood-continue to capture readers' imaginations and warm their hearts long after they grow up. Begun as a series of letters from Kenneth Grahame to his son, The Wind in the Willows is a timeless tale of animal cunning and human camaraderie.
If your children (or you, yes, you) have never read the original “Wind in the Willows,” you owe it to yourself to indulge yourselves in a most delightful treat. This Kindle edition includes illustrations by classic illustrations by Paul Bransom and a modern one by Inga Moore. In fact, it also features a free audiobook to play along!
“All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered.”
