Overview / 简介: |
Inspired by the perennial classic The Wind and the Willows, this picture book series features Toady, Badger, Ratty, and Mole as young buds discovering the true meaning of friendship.
In this story about the challenges of sharing a friend, Badger introduces Toady to his other friend, Ratty. Pampered Toady and nature-lover Ratty don't exactly hit it off, and both are jealous of the other's friendship with Badger. But after a trip to the carnival where Badger needs help from both pals, they can see that three doesn't always have to be a crowd! |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kindergarten-Grade 3—In this story set before Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows, Badger introduces Ratty and Toady. On their first meeting, they do not get along, but the situation changes after the three defeat a group of weasels that are trying to steal Badger's carnival tickets. In the introduction to the book, Uncle Ratty's great-great-niece Rose Bud explains in a letter to readers how she found her uncle's diaries. The story is illustrated with attractive old-fashioned watercolor and pastel paintings and ornamental borders. Endpapers feature a decorative local map of the countryside where Toady, Badger, and Ratty live. Unfortunately, the book lacks the charm of the classic.—Marilyn Ackerman, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
