Reader's Corner: From the Author of the "Reluctant Dragon," Another Sensational Children's Novel

                Have you ever liked a story with talking animals in it? Does it fascinate you imagining animals acting like humans? Kenneth Grahame’s children novel “The Wind in the Willows” is the right pick for you! In this novel, the main characters of the story have their own separate adventures to take on. Toad, being one of the main characters, is an arrogant and foolish toad who finds himself embroiled into different dilemmas. Where would his troublesome attitude lead him and the rest of the characters?

                One favorite part of mine in the story was when the Water Rat (one of the main characters) was looking for his friend; the Mole (another main character), who tried his best to find him no matter what. This part taught me of the true meaning of friendship through thick and thin. Friendship, humility, discipline, self-control and unselfish are just some of the morals you can learn from reading this story.

                Boy and girls would definitely enjoy reading this book because it would bring out different emotions in them. It would further enrich their imaginations in each adventures that the characters would lead them to. I would recommend this book to children of ages 8 to 10 and to those who like adventure stories.
