What is the main conflict in The Wind in the Willows?
Since Mole is an underground animal by nature, his journey into the upper world near the river poses the novel’s first main conflict. A ‘younger’ character than Rat or Badger, Mole serves as our first lens into the story, as he slowly matures from a frightened animal into a self-reliant, brave and clever companion.

What age is the wind in the willows for?
I do think that a read-aloud to a 7 or 8-year-old might work fine. And older children could try and read it themselves, despite the lofty language. One thing I don’t usually recommend, but for this book, I do– try working with an Audio version for the younger children.
