The Wind in the Willows

This was a lovely, nostalgic visit to the riverbank for me, because the original book was a childhood favourite of mine.

It was fun to meet up with Ratty, Mole,
Toad and Badger once again, and to be reminded of the results of Toad's recklessness!

The illustrations are really nice, and this is a good way to introduce younger children to the characters from the classic story.

I loved the Wind in the Willows when I was younger, and it was wonderful to be able to revisit it with the Picture Book Classic version.

I think this adaption did a great job of capturing the spirit of the characters, and the illustrations were super cute! I would have liked to see a bit more of the plot, but overall a great introduction to Wind in the Willows.

Thanks to NetGalley, Angeles Peinador, and Rosen Publishing for the chance to review this advance copy!

The book was beautifully written and the illustrations were incredible and intricate. The author made careful word choices that were very impactful. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it.

I love the classic Wind in the Willows with crazy Mr Toad and his loyal friends. This updated childrens version is very cute and the art style is bright and beautiful, my only complaint is I wish it were longer.

Thanks to the publisher and artist for the e-arc I received via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I've never read the original Wind in the Willows, so I don't have anything to compare this too, but the illustrations in this edition are colorful, vibrant, and very eye-catching. I'm sure my littlest library patrons would love getting to know Mole, Ratty, Toad, and Badger. Recommended.

I've read this story before, and I just read this version twice. This is such a hilarious romp, and every character is lovable. The pictures are great, and the layout makes this classic so accessible. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Omg this book was so cute! The illustrations are pure art, the history is pure magic and cuteness. I really loved to be inspired by the message the author passed me. Truly amazing!

Thank you so much to Rosen Publishing / Windmill Books and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

The classic tale of The Wind in the Willows, the storyline follows Mole, Ratty, Badger and Toad who live amongst the riverbank. This is a condensed version of the story written for younger children, capturing all the important scenes of the story.

This was a great version of the story, it gave you just enough of the story, you could still easily follow it and understand who the characters were and what the story was. The illustrations were very bright and bold that went with it, sharing each part of the story.

I think this is a good starting read for getting younger children into classics, with all the animals, the funny story of reckless Toad who does incredibly naughty things. I think children would find it amusing. It also comes with a lesson and shows how Toad changes after what he did.

I love getting to read classics in different forms, seeing what scenes are selected and how they get interpreted and this one was done really well, it was a great story, with bright illustrations to go with it.

While it has been a while since I read the original Wind in the Willows, I found this to be a good adaptation of the story. Illustrations were bright and engaging.
