The Wind in the Willows (Wordsworth Children's Classics) (New Cover for this edition)

I got this one for a grandchild, she's 9 yr old. Not a lot of pictures but a fairly easy read for her. A nice chapter book.

The story is great, and the Wordsworth Children's edition offers a complete, unabridged version with original photos - one per chapter. And there's the rub. There are now slightly abridged editions with wonderful illustrations, and full versions with more pictures, which is what small children often enjoy most about reading. I was upset that the reviews for all editions of the book were clumped together, so I couldn't tell which book people actually liked best, unless they pointed it out. As a final note, I've got a degree in literature, and I appreciated the original text. I've since seen the slightly abridged and fully illustrated Candlewick Illustrated Classics version, and would so much have preferred that one, if I had known.

I bought several items on Amazon and was very happy with all. Amazon took my reviews down because I did not have a mix of [ like love hate etc. ] Sorry Amazon that ALL the merchants did a great job.

A must read for all ages.

My 5 year old grandson love it.

Small and lightweight so suitable for travelling. Not very colourful so more to read to children rather than for them to look at pictures.

Lovely story

Brought this for my granddaughter in Australia, she loved it! A good old fashioned story and easy for her to read.

great book

Brings childhood memories back.
