Download The Wind in the Willows, with eBook Audiobook

" "The mole never heard a word he was saying. Absorbed in the new life he was entering upon, intoxicated with the sparkle, the ripple, the scents and the sounds and the sunlight, he trailed a paw in the water and dreamed long waking dreams." "

" Marvelous, extraordinary. Escape to another world and in the end wishing you could stay. Embellished characters fanciful personalities, and enough adventure to keep you very busy. I will have an old copy of this book in my library forever! "

" Really enjoyed re-reading for the survey of Victorian and Edwardian fantasy and children's literature I am doing for my work on the early J.R.R. Tolkien. There are definitely some interesting parallels to be drawn between Grahame and Tolkien and the Piper at the Gates of Dawn connection to Tolkien's Tinfang Warble in The Book of Lost Tales is worth, and will be, pursued. Highly enjoyable! "

" While I appreciate the book as a classic, it just isn't my style. I tend to not enjoy excessive description and for whatever reason, the old school British novels are never my favorite. "

" The first word that comes to mind when I think about this book is delightful. Then funny. Then comforting. Then my thoughts devolve into incoherent babble about which scenes I loved the most, and how much it bugged me every time Toad messed with his hair (since when do toads have hair???), and how much I love the Christmas song the mice sing, and how much I felt for Rat when he's captured by wanderlust. Basically, I love this book. Toad is the worst, Mole is my favorite, and Rat and Badger are pretty great, too. "

" My childhood's favorite book to which I return every few years. The older I get, the more philosophical I find it. "

" I read this over two days when I was sick, and really enjoyed it. The writing about nature's cycles and the insight into the character's foibles are just lovely. The story seemed disjointed to me--more like a series of short stories put together than something that was meant to hang together as one--and then I read that it began as a series of letters from the author to his son. That fact also explained why there were no explicitly female characters until more than halfway through the book. I loved how the characters recognize and forgive each other's flaws and see it as their duty to step in and set each other right when one of them starts to go off the rails. "

" a classic children's story that i loved as a child and couldn't resist reading again when i came across a copy at the library sale. "

" This was my favorite book as a child and one that I read to my son several times. The animals seemed familiar and the river soothing. I felt certain this is how the English countryside would appear and in many respects it coincides with my experiences in Somerset. "

" Charming and entertaining, Grahame's book may tell the story of talking animals and may sit on the children's shelf at the bookstore, but the richness of his poetic voice appeals to all ages. I was surprised by how many "adult" themes he wove throughout: loyalty, social expectations, homesickness, obsession, responsibility, wanderlust... Something about this book reminds me of the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, another favorite. This would make a great read-aloud book for families! "

" This was really good! That Toad is a riot! Good thing he has his friend Badger "

" Again, Doug talked about this children's book. I had never read it. I checked out a copy from the library. One with wonderful illustrations. Doug read it out loud. Enjoyed the book very much. Very clever. There is also a movie with a few folks from Money Plython in it. Very funny. "

" I first read this book many years ago, and after reading a friend's review, decided it was time to revisit it. What a wonderful story! Written from the perspective of a mole, a rat, a toad, and a badger who live along a river and in a Wild Wood, this charming and fascinating tale of actions, inactions, and consequences draws the reader into a fantasy world that requires astonishingly little suspension of disbelief. Kenneth Grahame creates a world where animals talk to each other as well as to humans, and have homes and relationships and cares and adventures. This is one of those books where you can lose yourself completely in the world of the animals and start wishing you could actually visit, and maybe take a ride in Ratty's boat or Toad's car. You might think of this as a children's book, but reading it as an adult was just as satisfying. "

" This was a very cute and very fun little read. I like the style and the stories of friendship. "

" Wow, I never read this as a child, my only exposure was from Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland. What an amazing book. Just finished reading this book to my five-year-old son. We both loved it. A wonderful story, such expressive writing. Great characters. I'll be reading this again. "

" Slow and sweet and wonderful. I loved Mole and Rat and Badger. I found Toad to be an irritating blowhard, but I think you're supposed to. A nice little book to curl up with when you're in the mood to read something, but don't want it to be too long, too involved or complicated. "

" One of my favourite childhood books. "

" I read this in high school. I remember b/c I made a cover to the report that had a frog with googly eyes. That is about all I remember. "

" Possibly the best book in the world. The Chapter V DULCE DOMUM - may be my favourite piece of writing ever! "

" Loved it at the time. "

" Good to finally have read this one. I enjoyed it more than I had thought I would. "

" I really enjoyed "The Wind in the Willows". Even though it is considered a children's book I found myself absorbed by the adventures on Toad, Rat, Badger and the other animals. For me it was one of those books that you're sorry to see finished. "

" Reading this with my boys :) Night one; chapter one- they are just settling into having to use their imaginations :) Very fun for me!!! "

" I re-read this book just recently, and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The format was interesting, with several different stories weaving together into one whole, all tied together with the dissipated and conceited Mr. Toad. I could go on about the social commentary that the characters provide, but it is enough to simply read the book and enjoy it. "

" I didn't enjoy reading this book. "

" Enjoyable tale. Beautifully told. I kept thinking that British children must have an incredible vocabulary. Many times I wondered what in the world some of the words meant! "

" I'd never read this story as a kid, but right now it's relevant to my real life, so I picked it up. This is one of those classic children's books that are really made for reading aloud. On top of the story and characters being really sweet and captivating, the prose itself is very lyrical and charming. Would absolutely recommend for a child's library. "

" I rather disliked this book, and as such, have no inclination towards writing a review. I will say that Kenneth Grahame was sexist and annoying, and the Toad was the most annoying character I've read in a long time. Peace out~ "

" The Wind in the Willlows by Kenneth Grahame is a collection of stories about animals who live by a river in England. The stories center around the adventures of four friends: Rat, Mole, Badger and Toad. It's themes are friendship, camaraderie and chivalry. The characters' friendship and manner are adorable and delightful to read but I found those laced with pompous old Toad's schemes and follies to be the most interesting ones. The book also shows the class division of England and the general upheaval those with 'old money' were going through. "

" I remember seeing the movie as a kid so I read the book and found it very weird. "

" I read parts of this when I was 7. It was pretty boring. "

" I read this book as a child and fell in love with it. The characters are interesting and highly entertaining. This book represents a part of my childhood and will always be one of my fave books ever. "

" a laugh out loud delight. we enjoyed many giggles reading and rereading passages of this classic. "

" This is a wonderful book with a slow pace, but enough adventure and interesting characters to make it fun. For me, it was a little hard to get excited about and make sense of it. These animals are so lifelike, and they don't seem to know that they're animals. For my children, who listened to me read it, it made perfect sense and they loved it. I think it was harder for me to understand than them, and it's in reading books like these as children that they learn to appreciate a good story with rich vocabulary. It was certainly written in a time before we were entertained by thirty second commercials. "

" I had to order my Alan Bennett adaptation from England. And it was worth it. The stage instructions/asides alone are hilarious. "

" Reread this 2 years ago - still a fun classic. "

" I've attempted reading this several times, but I really just don't like toad, and the descriptive passages were also hard slogging. I know it's a classic, but the only part which I really liked was p. 137: "a sausage out of which the garlic sang." I like the Brian Jacques books better. This was very difficult trying to picture, even though I'd seen at least one animated (possibly also a claymation?) when I was little, as the characters have human characteristics sometimes and non-human, animal characteristics at others. Perhaps this is less confusing to a child's brain. "

" Although I loved this novel, because of it's wonderful story and intertextuality, it took me some time to finish it. Every time you've read a chapter, you feel like you've completed (part of) the story, there are no cliffhangers. However, this makes it suitable to read a chapter as a bedtime story for children. "

" I loved it...but a couple times wanted to smack Mr.Toad "

" Fun stories. The language can be a little hard sometimes for younger listeners. Shoot for 4th grade or higher perhaps. "

" Adding all time favorites to my list. Beautifully written, wry, timeless. Reread this about every 5 years just for the brilliant prose. "

" I love this book. It is a fond childhood memory for me. Loved it as a child and loved reading it again many years later (1999-2000 last time read) "

" Charming in a bucolic sort of way... "

" One of the few books that I appreciated more once I knew the author's background and had analysed it a bit in class. I was never much interested in it when I was little and stand-by my hesitation after having read it for class. The stories, while appropriate for the author's son, were too jumbled together to make a coherent novel and I never felt much attachment to any of the characters. "

" Highly entertaining and hilarious! Will definitely be a staple in my potential children's future! "

" Sweet and a little disturbing that Rat has such an arsenal. "

" Great nostalgic read. I never actually read it as a child, but I enjoyed it as much as a child would. "

" Two stars for being unable to finish. "

" A perfect book for a rare English sunny day. This book will make you want to run around fields bare foot, go swimming in ponds and have picnics under oak trees. "

" One of the absolute sweetest and best-illustrated children's books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Something I hope to pass on to my children, someday. "

" I first read this book in second grade, and I still love it! Kenneth Grahame did a great job, I was never bored, and I've read this book so many times. "

" This was a funny and truthful fable. Nature must surely be preserved. The Wind in the Willows gave me so much nostalgia. "

" Well, my review is not really fair because we read a condensed and adapted version. I saw it a Target for one dollar and snapped it up, only realizing later that it was not the original. (The one we read was condensed and adapted by Clay Stafford.) "

" This is one of those books that I can read over and over and over again. Mole I can very well relate to and Water Rat, Badger and Toad are characters that I recognize in friends and family. This book is a true classic. "

" This was a very cute and very fun little read. I like the style and the stories of friendship. "

" The only book needed on a desert island. "

" How perfectly splendid. Old Toad is an absolute terror in his new car and is awful to all and sundry. Spiffing. I wonder if any children would understand this. But for the educated, a rather dashing blasts into the past. "

" Fun read with the girls "

" This is a far stranger book than I anticipated. Not sure what to make of it. "

" i am wondering if this is where Pink Floyd got the name for their great song - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. "

" I love reading the old classics. The language in this story had me smirking. Calling one another "silly asses" is quite amusing. :) "

" Grahame wrote a very lively story about the adventures of Mole, Rat, Toad and Badger. For a children's book, it has a lot of exciting elements: deceit, action/fight scenes, etc. I simply love children's books. "

" This book is like a favourite blanket - had it as a cassette tape as a child, and read to me by mum, and have kept a dogeared copy handy by the bed if I can't sleep. Now it's on my iPhone! ;-) I'm envious of anyone who hasn't read it and gets to experience Ratty Mole Toad and Badger for the very first time - poop poop! "

" Let anthropomorphism run away with your imagination for a few hours. It's fun! "

" This was pure excellence. Fantastic. Recomend it to anyone. "

" I remember my parents reading me the stories when I was a child, I think I enjoyed it more as an adult! "

" Kisah fabel anak yang jenaka sekaligus berat, karena muatan & pesan-pesan moral yang memang tidak ringan. Menarik untuk disimak walau bukan untuk dikenang.. "

" i remember reading this book at school and thinking yeah i like it.... havent read it in so long must read it again shortly... "

" I love reading the old classics. The language in this story had me smirking. Calling one another "silly asses" is quite amusing. :) "

" I had a bit of trouble with this one. It's as if each chapter were written by a different person at a different time. While I really enjoyed the first few chapters, the book as a whole somehow didn't feel cohesive. "

" There is nothing , absolute nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats! "

" Sweet and a little disturbing that Rat has such an arsenal. "

" I will definitely read this to ANY children. Such light and lovely stories "

" Such a wonderful story about these animals. Each chapter is an adventure on it's own, where concepts like true friendship and loyalty are well brought to the reader. "

" Definitely not what I remember watching on tv as a child. I found it pretty difficult to read as well. "

" Cute little easy read. I of course especially liked the chapters about Toad. There was one boring and superfluous chapter about a sea rat which I could have done without, but overall I very much enjoyed what felt in some ways more like a collection of little stories than one long one. :) "

" One of my favorite books to read as bedtime stories to my kids. "

" Let anthropomorphism run away with your imagination for a few hours. It's fun! "

" I really enjoyed diving back into this childhood favorite, but I forgot how annoying some of the animals are--specifically toad. This time around I wanted to pummel him! Other than that, I loved curling up with good-old rat, endearing mole, & loyal badger. "

" One of my all-time favorites. "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is beautiful. "

" A pleasure read for sure. Truly allows you to find enjoyment in the seasons. "

" I have 4 words for you. Toad from Toad Hall. "

" I really enjoyed "The Wind in the Willows". Even though it is considered a children's book I found myself absorbed by the adventures on Toad, Rat, Badger and the other animals. For me it was one of those books that you're sorry to see finished. "

" This is a far stranger book than I anticipated. Not sure what to make of it. "

" This is a classic for a reason. Full of wonder and characters you will remember forever. "

" More review to come, but although I though the story was cute, I am not a fan of Mr. Toad and there was just a bit too much of him in this book for my taste. Also the scale-issue where animals like moles and frogs were the same size as humans just through me off at every turn and I just couldn't get past it. I had been wanting to read this book for some time but took me longer than I expected to read it given other external factors. "

" Dreadfully tedious and boring. I have difficulty believing that children these days would enjoy either the language or story (or lack thereof). The only interesting part of the entire book was the reclaiming of Toad's estate and that ended in half a second. "

" I read this book and loved it. I loved how animals could talk and be like humans. What really confused me was why someone would write a book with animals talking. I was confused because I had been taught that anthropomorphism was bad and that people who did so were mentally ill. Interesting what children learn from teachers in the Midwest of USA in the early 80s, yes? I still loved this story and I believe it started me on the road of fantasy and opening my mind to possibilities. "

" Read this in one sitting. As good as ever. Read it in one sitting. "

" Great book, many adventursome characters. Solid story. Wonderful illustrations balanced by classic literary imagery. I believe the language (an old British tongue) may have been the reason I was so disinterested in it as a child. "

" A wonderfully friendly and imaginative story. 'The Wind in the Willows' is a classic children's novel, paced perfectly and filled with funny, lovable characters. "

" Quite possibly our favorite read aloud to date! We've read it several times. "

" Let anthropomorphism run away with your imagination for a few hours. It's fun! "

" Bor-ing. Nothing like the cute animated Disney version! "

" Read it to my kids a long while back and they were as enchanted by this highly original tale as much as I was. There's poetry in this prose, and there's a heart the size of Earth in the adventure of Mole, Badger and the rest of the illustrious gang. "

" Another great book to read to your kids. You just have to love Mr. Toad. "Poop poop!" This book will really make you smile. It's great fun and beautifully written. "

" One of my favorite books of all time!! "

" Happy memories from my childhood. Cute stories about Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad. "

" Super cute and totally reminds me of my Gran. Glad I read it again after so many years. "

" Love this classic children's book. Our family enjoyed reading it aloud in the evenings and taking parts and doing voices for the characters. Delightful! "

" I'd never read this. Okay kids book, rather dated. "

" My favorite childhood tale... I still read it over and over. "

" First book I ever read! "

" Magically-written book ; the next best thing to a time-machine. Transport yourself back to childhood innocence. "

" I first read this book (or had it read to me) as a young child. Now, I read it to my own kids (currently 6 and 4); it's one of their favorite bedtime stories. :) "

" One of my childhood faves! "

" Of its time, of its class, and a delight. "

" Read with James my baby son "

" Super cute and totally reminds me of my Gran. Glad I read it again after so many years. "

" One of my childhood faves! "

" The first book I remember my parents read me. "

" One of my favourite books of all time, and my grandfather's favourite. "

" I am always confused how a book gets it's name from one small section. The correct name should be the adventures of Mr. Toad. And I know many movies have done this. It was a good book, and I am sure I will read it to my children... when I have any. "

" One of my all-time favorites. "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is beautiful. "

" "The mole never heard a word he was saying. Absorbed in the new life he was entering upon, intoxicated with the sparkle, the ripple, the scents and the sounds and the sunlight, he trailed a paw in the water and dreamed long waking dreams." "

" This was really good! That Toad is a riot! Good thing he has his friend Badger "

" Nice yet weird at times "

" I was a bit confused about how the animals an humans could talk to each other and it seemed normal, especially when Toad was arrested and sent to the London Tower. Other than that this was a cute book, with an interesting look on how animals live their lives. "

" It is so nice to revisit a book from your childhood. : ) "

" I love this book. Its quite unpredictable and its all about animals living their lives. I love the frog though, very dumb but great. "

" This was a test read to see if it would be suitable for my granddaughters age 7,the story is really nice ,there are some dark spots which will be a little difficult to explain,so we'll wait awhile before we tackle this one "

" A charming story of a mole, a rat and a badger who try to help their friend, a toad, to see the error of his ways. "

" Reread this 2 years ago - still a fun classic. "

" it's a very light book but it concerns on the attitude of adults. "

" One of my top ten. I read it as a young adult, and re read it a few years ago, and it still got me. I can't wait to read it again when my kids are a little older. "

" A charming story of a mole, a rat and a badger who try to help their friend, a toad, to see the error of his ways. "

" a laugh out loud delight. we enjoyed many giggles reading and rereading passages of this classic. "

" This is a wonderful novel! A must read classic! "

" THE WIND AND THE WILLOWS is such a wonderful tale of friends, adventure, the love of home, and what it means to be a hero. It is a fun read for all ages and is worth reading more than once. "

" This was a funny and truthful fable. Nature must surely be preserved. The Wind in the Willows gave me so much nostalgia. "

" This is an enjoyable children's book. The stories of adventure are less exciting by today's standards but nice stories about animal friends. "

" One of the first books iv read . Good read. "

" My all time favourite book. From the first time I heard the story when my mum read it to me a chapter a night, to now some 40 years later when I read it every year. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Oh and I know we all associate with one of the characters, well I'm mole! "

" Nice yet weird at times "

" This is just a charming, easy to read story. "

" Chloe and I are reading this together on my kindle. She reads it out loud to me. She really likes it so far; just a great classic. "

" Love this book. Should read it because it has a chapter called 'Piper At the Gates of Dawn'. The coolest named chapter in history. Enough Said! "

" What a joy to read. I was glad to cozy up to the hearth with Mole and Rat, and caught myself laughing out loud over and over again to the misadventures of Toad. E.H. Shepard's illustrations bring even more life to it -- I can't imagine reading an edition with any other illustrator. "

" I know this book is considered to be a classic, but I just couldn't finish it. I found it to be extremely boring. I was disappointed; I thought I would like it, but I realized that I was forcing myself to read it. "

" This is a wonderful novel! A must read classic! "

" Starting listening to story from booksshouldbefree.com "

" A wonderful romp through my childhood. "

" Toad reminds me a bit of my ex-husband. Sometimes I wonder why his friends put up with him. A fun read. "

" All time favourite children's novel, I have read it SO many times "

" This was a fun book to read to my 7 year old. We both looked forward to seeing what adventures the animals were going to do next, "

" Such a cute story! Toad was definitely my favorite character. I wish I'd read it to my kids when they were little. Heck, maybe I'll get them all on the phone and read it to them any way. :) "

" I thought this book was dreadfully dull as a child, but it suited me perfectly as an adult re-read. I love the cosiness of supper in your dressing gown and the gentle friendship among the animals. "

" my all time favorite of childhood...long live Ratty and Toad!!! "

" Really enjoyed this, the long winding sentences echo the path of the river, but make this challenging to read aloud. "

" Just like the videos i watched when i was younger. Though i think the book is a bit more sexual between rat and mole! "

" My kids would often lose interest or nod off while I read this book, so we had to intersperse it with some more interesting reads for them, but I loved reading it. Loved the language, stories and characters. Different from our stories these days. "

" I had to order my Alan Bennett adaptation from England. And it was worth it. The stage instructions/asides alone are hilarious. "

" I have read this book many times ... from my childhood to my place now in the order of things. The charcaters never fail to amuse me. It is a timeless classic. "

" As great as I remember it from when I was a kid. Excellent for 10 year old boys - my son loved it. "

" Holds up after nearly 50 years for me. "

" if you've never read this book then you must! Mr. Toad is fantastic! "

" Let anthropomorphism run away with your imagination for a few hours. It's fun! "

" Love love love this book! "

" This is not one that I will be recommending. It bored me. "

" I hate this book. :P "

" A great adventure! I loved it! :-) "

" The only book needed on a desert island. "

" This is a book to read at home sitting in the garden or in the winter in a cosy room with lots of cushions and a blazing fire. It reminds you of a childhood where everything is an adventure and all ends well. "

" Silly, incorrigible Mr. Toad! I actually loved the cartoon (the one that came out once a year, the one with Ichabod Crane too), so much that I had high hopes for the book. It was good, but......I still am going to have to go with the cartoon version. "

" One of me and my son's favorites! "

" I first read this book in second grade, and I still love it! Kenneth Grahame did a great job, I was never bored, and I've read this book so many times. "

" This was a funny and truthful fable. Nature must surely be preserved. The Wind in the Willows gave me so much nostalgia. "

" I think I expected too much from the book. It was just an ok book for me. It is basically about a mole befriending a water rat. While staying with his new friend, mole gets to meet Toad, Beaver, Otter etc. Some parts of the book was real cute and I liked toad,, but some parrts were really boring... "

" I will definitely read this to ANY children. Such light and lovely stories "

" Reading this story with my son. It is a sweet story of friendship but takes time to get through due to the wording. "

" I didn't read this book as a child and maybe that is why I didn't like it. It was more of a series of short stories with the same characters and it put me to sleep (which is rare for me while I read). "

" Ah. Mr. Toad. Not to be missed! "

" Bor-ing. Nothing like the cute animated Disney version! "

" One of the best children books ever! "

" Charming, lovely and absolutely superb! "

" I greatly enjoyed the common theme of friendship throughout the book, as well as Kenneth Graham's descriptive and, at times, mystical prose. "

" Strange book. The characters are in a strange limbo between human and animal, which can work but in this case just seemed odd for some reason. Has some slow but beautiful descriptions. Just an odd collection of occurrences really. Not extremely impressed overall. "

" Seriously, a "must read" - beautifully written with vivid imagery. A delight. "

" Love this classic children's book. Our family enjoyed reading it aloud in the evenings and taking parts and doing voices for the characters. Delightful! "

" How perfectly splendid. Old Toad is an absolute terror in his new car and is awful to all and sundry. Spiffing. I wonder if any children would understand this. But for the educated, a rather dashing blasts into the past. "

" Read this for school. It was okay...I mean, I guess I liked Badger the best. Toad was a bit loco in his head... O.o but he turned out alright in the end. "

" Charming, lovely and absolutely superb! "

" Hated it with a passion. Especially because it was part of my English Independent Study Unit. "

" I love this book. Its quite unpredictable and its all about animals living their lives. I love the frog though, very dumb but great. "

" Read aloud with Max. Such lovely writing. Beautiful imagery and clever humor. The theme: "true friends always stand by you". "

" Love this book. Plot is very cute! "

" I really enjoyed "The Wind in the Willows". Even though it is considered a children's book I found myself absorbed by the adventures on Toad, Rat, Badger and the other animals. For me it was one of those books that you're sorry to see finished. "

" This was my favorite book as a child and one that I read to my son several times. The animals seemed familiar and the river soothing. I felt certain this is how the English countryside would appear and in many respects it coincides with my experiences in Somerset. "

" As great as I remember it from when I was a kid. Excellent for 10 year old boys - my son loved it. "

" Hated it with a passion. Especially because it was part of my English Independent Study Unit. "

" Adding all time favorites to my list. Beautifully written, wry, timeless. Reread this about every 5 years just for the brilliant prose. "

" I had to read this for a Children's Literature class. I was surprised how much I liked it. I recommend this book for those that wish to travel to another place and time. Isn't that the purpose of reading. "

" i can't think of a better bedtime read. well, i probably can, just can't be bothered to right now. still an amazing ability of the writing to put you into a different but believable world. and there really is nothing better than simply messing about in boats. "

" I found this book to be delightful. Even though the characters of the book were animals like Rat, Mole, Badger and Toad I feel they are placed as if they were human characters. This book was pretty long but very joyful to read especially for younger children. "

" This book was a bit old and I think I would recommend it to for me and I really didn't know what the problem or exciting part was "

" I can't wait to read this to my kids and grandkids! "

" Loved this one as a child. "

" I listened to an audio version of this, and found it somewhat entertaining. The best chapters are those with the toad.

Fine book for children (advanced reading level), lots of lessons that can be learned, though they use "ass" about 12 times. "

" A classic. Every bit as good when reading it in my adult life as it was in my youth. "

" water rat mole toad and all fun childrens story "

" Where have I been all my life? I had never read this book and didn't know what I was missing! The whimsical descriptions, the characters, and the charming pastoral setting make it a delightful escape. I can only wish I had read it as a kid; guess reading it now is the next best thing! "

" Mine is a leather bound issue, part of a collection Dalmatian Press released in 2004. "

" Fantastische Welt. Tolle Charaktere und vieles zu entdecken in dieser Geschichte. Lässt sich schwer beschreiben, sollte man erlebt haben. Für jedes Alter geeignet. "

" Such a cute story... could read it over and over again. and it would be a quick read if I didn't read it on my phone. "

" I never read this as a kid, but I kind of wish I had. I loved books about animals that were pretty much people (Redwall, anyone?) and this was really good. The characters were funny and the book made me laugh pretty much throughout. "
