The wind in the willows.

These books are excellent and have replaced Curious George in the current bedtime rotation for our kids. Beautiful illustrations and easy reading with large enough print so that our 2.

We've been fortunate enough to see a couple of the stories live on the stage at the Broward Center for Performing Arts, and my four year old loved it! I immediately went home and ordered him the books to keep his interest evolving.

This series is an excellent shortened version for the early reader. I first played "The Wind In The Willows" DVD, narrated by Vanessa Redgrave, for my granddaughter and niece.
