"There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

I’m so glad I finally read this classic novel! Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is my favorite ride at Disneyland and as a child I loved watching Disney’s The Wind in the Willows + The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. But up until now, I had never taken the opportunity to read the story!

It’s such a fun old tale. About animals, nature and friendship. It was so nostalgic. It reminded me of a more grown up version of Winnie the Pooh. Once you’ve outgrown the many adventures of Pooh and friends, but you still want the vibes of reading about the natural world and the amazing creatures that reside there, this story can continue to feed your soul. Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad say and do some things that are a little bit more mature than what Pooh, Christopher Robin and friends do

Reading this made me appreciate the nature even more, with all of the beautiful prose. So good.

The wind in the willows was a book a read after a long day, it never failed to make me smile and I felt like the story was very engaging. It reminded me of frog and toad and the tales of Beatrix potter. 

Yes this book is for a younger audience but I think it’s enjoyable for all ages, I highly suggest
