Wondrous Willows - By: Ms. Kim J. Forster, 12 Jul 2008 
I've been waiting for this version to come out on CD for a long time. My tapes, both sets, have worn out! I will never tire of listening to this, despite the fact that I scorn most children's literature nowadays! David Jason's Toad is a complete joy, conniving, self-pitying but loveable all the same, just like Toad should be. This version is atmospheric, funny, beautifully acted & 'comfort' listening of the first order. Forget the modern world & all its PC ways. Sit back & listen & pretend everything's alright - just for awhile...
FANTASTIC VERSION - By: Mama England, 28 Nov 2007 Although more a playscript rather than word for word from the book - it had my children gigglingin the car listening to it & keeps them quiet no matter how many times they listen to it.
Still One of the Best Children's Stories - By: J. Chippindale, 25 Mar 2007 I purchased this book to read to my young grandson (4 years old). The book brought back many wonderful memories of my childhood & the magical world the story gives to a young child hearing it for the first time.
Until I started to read to my grandson I had forgotten what a wonderful story it is, far surpassing most of the modern tales for children. It still feels as fresh as the day it was written & is not dated at all.
For some reason, I don't know why children seem to be able to relate to stories about animals rather than about human beings, this is reflectedin the number of programmes on children's television about animals.
Whether it be paper back or hard back with illustrations get the childrenin your family a copy of Windin the Willows, I guarantee they will love it.
