From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Mole has never seen a river, and Grahame gives it to him as a living thing, “gripping things with a gurgle and leaving them with a laugh.” Circle each word in that paragraph that belongs to a creature or a person. Is the river more like a playmate or a storyteller to Mole?
