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.

This book had NO business being this boring and this long.

This is one of the cutest books I've ever read <3
3.5 stars.
It was no plot just vibes, but surprisingly, I enjoyed it.
adventurous emotional lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

A cosy romp; a celebration of the countryside; and, at times, profound. Chapters 7 & 9 especially are just beautiful works of prose.
