Return to the Willows / Jacqueline Kelly / 281 pages

Jacqueline Kelly writes a sequel to Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows!  Rat, Mole, Badger and Toad once again embark on adventures and behave as true friends would.  There's plenty of action, humor and well "messing around with boats."  The beautiful paintings that illustrate the book add to the overall appeal.  The publisher used nice thick creamy paper and a square format that make the book look like a classic.  True confession....I didn't like the Wind in the Willows that much but I really liked this book.  It would be sooo awesome to read aloud to the family.
