Horn Book Review

A classic of English literature, the story of four animal friends--Mole, Ratty, Badger, and Mr. Toad--and their riverside adventures receives lavish, naturalistic illustrative treatment. Rendered in dusky greens, earthy browns, and firelit golds, the full-page paintings and spot art perfectly capture slightly sinister woodland environs and cozy underground interiors. Less anthropomorphized than in other illustrated editions, these animals still brim with personality. (c) Copyright 2012. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
