The Wind In The Willows Templar Co Books

Follow Mole from his quiet underground life into friendship with Rat, Badger and the irrepressible Mr Toad. Peaceful riverbank scenes sit beside comic trouble as Toad's latest obsession draws his friends into another rescue. Kenneth Grahame's classic offers both a comforting sense of home and an adventurous wider world, making it rewarding to share aloud and revisit as readers become more confident with richer language.

Age suitability and learning: Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). The longer narrative suits children ready to sustain attention across a developing story, whether reading independently or sharing it aloud. Following characters and events supports comprehension, vocabulary and reading stamina; discussing motives, settings and choices encourages inference, empathy and imaginative thinking.
