Wind in the willows has never been my favorite story, Toad hall and the animals as they overcome different hurdles together.

Still a classic so what do i know.... Mainly read for a challenge so giving 3 star....

This was a fun book to read with my 10 year old. The old-timey English proved challenging at times, but it was a good opportunity to explain what was happening with her. 
I’m not sure if I caught all the allegory and symbolism in the plot, but Toad’s hijinks, Mole’s sincerity, Ratty’s logic and Badger’s leadership made the read very enjoyable.

Sometimes, when life is busy, you’ve just got to listen to a book that soothes your brain and feels like a warm hug. That’s exactly what this book was; expertly narrated, well written, absolute fun.

I adore the fact that we’re following a spoilt motor-crazed toad whose dramas genuinely made me laugh out loud several times whilst listening. The fact that he is ultimately saved by the loveliest found family just adds a layer of absolute heart and joy to this tale. Honestly, this book was exactly what I needed and I am so glad I listened to it. If you need a brain break, I can’t recommend it enough.
