The Wind in the Willows

Right now I am reading the book The Wind in the Willows,  by Kenneth Grahame. This book has 284 pages. The characters in this book are animals. The genre of this book is fiction. In the first chapter, Mole, one of the characters, is cleaning his house and then going out for a walk. On his walk Mole meets Water Rat, known as Rat in the book. Mole and Rat make friends. Rat invites Mole for a trip in his small rowing boat. On their boat trip Rat and Mole see Toad, a boastful creature who changes his opinion about things too often. While arguing Mole and Rat fall into the water. This chapter ends with the main characters telling each other stories and going to bed. I think that I like this book because of the way that the scenes and characters are described. The animals speak and act like humans and that makes this book so special.
