The Wind in the Willows
A year 6 student at our school, who would prefer to be
called Dugong-101 (his absolute favourite animal), read “The Wind in the
Willows” by Kenneth Graham. He picked it up, because a friend recommended it
and it looked inviting, it has been his favourite book since. Dugong-101 described
the book in 3 words friendship, teamwork and adventure, all of these being real
life issues that are relatable. All characters have their individual points of
views and express them thoroughly throughout the book, which he enjoys. In
particular Duging-101 relates to Mr Badger, who doesn’t like change and would
rather settle down and create roots. Even though Dugong-101 finds that all
characters are agreeable, he doesn’t identify with Mr Rat’s optimism. It took
him 2 days to read, “It’s the sort of book you can read laying in bed”. It’s an
easy read and he would definitely read it again, because it calms him and makes
him happy.
You can find this book in the Library :)
Tune back in next week for more fun posts yours truly, Zinnia and Gwendoline.
