Book Description "It"s for your own good, Toady, you know," said the Rat kindly, as Toad, kicking and struggling, was hauled up the stairs by his two faithful friends. "Think what fun we shall all have together, just as we used to, when you"ve quite got over this -- this painful attack of yours!" Join four animal friends as they set out on a journey. Loyal Mole, resourceful Rat, and wise Badger must try to change Toad"s extravagant ways before he gets into trouble ... again! Whether boating along the glorious River or picnicking on the banks, life in the country is governed by peace and the prospect of an adventure.
