This was the last book on our 6th grade reading list. We both liked it. It was a little slow but that could have been due to the pace set by the coursework not so much the book itself. It was cute and cozy with some good lessons in it. Some of the language is definitely outdated and it is showing it’s age but overall was an enjoyable story. Not my favorite book that we read this year but was pretty good.

Very very charming. Cozy yet adventurous. More than anything else, very very likeable characters, with Mr. Toad being the standout.

for what is essentially a children’s story, the amount of fighting and drama and sadness was unexpected. a big scale adventure story of displacement and fighting back for what is yours. truly remarkable. throughly enjoyed this book.
In the future we’ll cry a lot is my take on this feminist take on this children’s classic. We shall cry, I should say to barrow the language of the story, when we realize how we’ve let children down just as we cry at how we were let down ourselves. To hear the stories of the many adventures of lady toad is to understand how often-if not always-girls and women are left in the dust in this type of story telling. I mean as they are not represented in stories of adventure all they are alienated from them and left to do is to admire the boys engaged in it. Now I wanna see all the classics revisited in this manner. Revise the genders in Jane Eyre, the Great Gatsby, all female Huckleberry Finn!
