(2nd read) I'm pretty sure this one's only going to get better with each re-read.

This book is refreshing and whimsical. It technically has a plot but nothing seems to matter, which is kind of the charm. Whether you're a child or adult, these friends are worth knowing.

lighthearted relaxing

This was a cute book. Love the animals and their personalities. Their way of life on the river and in the woods. Most excellent 

3.5⭐️this book is pure magical, wholesome vibes!! this is targeted for children but i really can’t imagine children reading this because the writing is a bit tricky to follow. toad was so infuriating but i feel weird saying that because…he’s a toad?

Read it as a kid and wanted to re-read it - held up to my childhood imagination.
