This is our bedtime reading for the forseeable future. We've only enjoyed Chapter One so far, but Luke is already enchanted with the Mole and the Rat. Living on the river ourselves means that every time we've been in sight of the water today Luke has openly wondered if Rat and Mole were out in their boat.
I've never read this and I understand it is a "childhood classic." So far, the illustrations have been strange, but beautiful and the story itself is very charming. This is not an easy read-aloud and I could wish for more pictures, but we're doing rather well at the outset.
