What is the writing style of Wind in the Willows?

Childish. It is essentially an animal cartoon ( like the Looney Tunes type) written, not as a comic book- but as a novel. If kids could read that well, they could handle a novel about people- say the Hardy Boys, the various works of Verne, etc. The animal-cartoon presentation type-casts a ( Kiddyland) atmosphere of childish fantasy.
