When Mole takes a break from his cleaning and wanders down to the river bank he meets the Water Rat, and a friendship is instantly formed. The two, together with Badger, spend a glorious summer playing about on the river, picnicking on the bank, and taking life easy. But when their hapless friend Toad gets into trouble they dash to his aid. Soon the four friends are fighting to save Toad from the dastardly stoats and weasels.

i love this book becuse animals can talk and it is very and i like the nicknames

Mole and Rat are good friends. Rat likes to row boats and sail with the breezy wind and Mole is full of questions to ask to Rat. They have picnics and stay together through thick and thin. One day, they go to Toad Hall, the house of the rich toad. Toad always has a new interest. This time it is driving a horse drawn carriage. Toad is always the trouble maker, being caught police and such. His good kind friends get into unthinkable kinds of trouble to protect toad. Even when Mole gets lost in the woods Badger rescues him and brings him safely home. These four animals are best friends, well maybe excluding Toad, and this book is about the adventure leading from their friendship.
