The Open Road

This is a children's editon, for younger readers, of the old tale "Wind in the Willows." The author, Stacy Leach has actually done quite a nice job with this one. I usually do not like the retelling of classics such as this, but in this case the job was done quite well. The illustrations by Holly Hannon are first rate, as a matter of fact they are quite enjoyable. This is a great read along book to have for the kids. Toad, Rat, Mole, et al, are as charming as ever. Recommend this one highly.
