  Another classic tale, one of the cosiest stories you can read.
  
  Beautifully illustrated , the story follows the erratic and motor-car fanatical Toad who’s found himself in trouble.
  Dodging the law after being branded the ‘Terror of the Highway’, the story is set in the English countryside and follows Rat, Mole and, Badger as they try to help their wildly spirited friend.
  
  Easy relaxing read , would strongly recommend.

  If you like Narnia, you'll love Wind of the Willows. This is the coziest book I've ever read, and the language is delightful.

  I chose the book because it was short but with a lot of interesting parts. It was a lot better than I expected. The book was about Mr. Toad using his car crazily. His friends grounded him since he would go to the hospital from every brutal accident he does with his car. He escapes one day and finds a car that looks exactly like his. He steals the car and goes for a joy ride. After running a few stop signs, he finds that there are a bunch people chasing him. Mr. Toad finds himself near a riverbank and takes on foot. He hitches a ride on a boat pulled by a mule as a washerwomen. The lady of the boat finds out that the washerwomen was actually a toad, so, he takes the mule and has it go as far as it can. Mr. Toad bumps into a seller that sold some coins and a meal to him for the mule. He takes the offer and goes after a small town with a train station. He takes a train engineer to get him back home. They rush off at full speed with the angry mob behind them on another, faster train. Mr. Toad hops off towards his friend's home and told them what happened. They all went back to Mr. Toad's home and finds that some other animals have took the house over. With every tool they got, Mr. Toad and his friends shooed every single animal out of the house. Finally, Mr. toad promises never to speak or see of any kind of car ever again. This book didn't explain about any controversial topics. The author did a well jo of creating the story. Nothing needs to be changed. This book encouraged me to read more than I used to. The title does go with the book because the main character is named "Mr. Toad" and that he goes on an adventure. The best part is when he takes back his house. The worst was when he found out the animals have found themselves rifles and when they started firing them to Mr. Toad. At first, I didn't know this particular toad loved joyrides on cars. The ending was the best part of all, but nothing else had to help top the story. I can't remember if there was a morale to the story or not.

  The toad gets imprisoned and breaks out by disguising himself as a washerwoman and there is a train chase and he jumps from a moving train and there is a battle between toad and his rodent friends and a load of weasels and toad is packing heat.

  Mr Toad's ever-new-found interests and adventures make him seem "multi polar.

  I had to take Chance to the library today and I saw this book on the shelf, and this flood of memories hit me. I believe this was probably the first book I read when I was 4 or 5. It seemed like there was a record that went with it too. How could you not love Mr. Toad and his ever loyal friends?

  Another book I had to read for my children's literature course. Not a bad read, not the greatest either.
