Children’s Book Corner

Contributing Writier One of the great classics of children’s literature is Kenneth Graham’s “The Wind in the Willows.” A great book to read to children, you will meet Mr. Badger, Toad, Ratty, Otter and Mole. The characters are very spirited and have many adventures in the countryside of Toad Hall. The story begins on the riverbank and continues to the open road and then on to the wild wood. Perhaps there is a bit of Toad in all of us. Enjoy!
