I wanted to love this book as I've heard the stories of these characters over the years and loved them. But I just don't get the hype of this classic. There's double the amount of words used for each story, and though the structure is good with character development there's a lot missing. How do the animals speak to humans? How do they become friends? How old are they and what/who do they represent in society? Also, Mr Toad is a terrible character, is he meant to teach a lesson to children?!
