Just the best before-bed emotional-weighted-blanket reading. I love what a hot mess Toad is, and what a sweet friendship Rat and Mole have.

I really loved this at first but it became a little tedious. There wasn’t much direction and the characters were frustrating. But the world was very cool and comforting.

Cute lil book about the adventures of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad. Toad kind of annoyed me actually. But it was really cute and I love reading about animals and the shenanigans they get up to. Don’t really know what else to say about this.

All the pearl clutching and moaning about "ruining the classics" is ridiculous. The original is great. This is a fun re-imagining that sticks close to the original story while giving us a more woman-centric cast of characters, who are all beautifully brought to life by an exceptional cast of voice actors.

If you want the classics left alone, just don't read the adaptations. Simple.
