This is a well-done graphic-novel
adaptation of the classic Kenneth Grahame tale of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Mr.
Toad. Mole is tired of spring cleaning
and decides to enjoy spring in all its glory instead. He meets up with Rat, Badger, and Mr. Toad,
and
their adventures proceed handily. Their
further adventures are presented through the use of brightly colored
illustrations by artist Fernando Cano and text adaptations by Stephanie Peters. The text is simplified enough to make it
accessible to younger or reluctant readers but loses little of the story
line. It will be a great way to
introduce this time-honored fairy tale to a new generation.
Graphic Resolve, this
well-done new series from Capstone Books, presents the
children’s classics The Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland,
The Jungle Book, Pinocchio, and The Wizard of Oz in
graphic-novel format.
Summary: This is a well-done graphic-novel
adaptation of the classic Kenneth Grahame tale of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Mr. Toad.
