[Andrea · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is obviously the middle of the series, as the stories just get going with introductions or explanations of who the characters are or what they are doing on the riverboat.

The stories are less appealing than those in the Woodland series, but Eric Kincaid's beautiful illustrations make this worth the read. I did enjoy reading about the aqueduct and the lock - I didn't know there are aqueducts in England, but there are!

I wonder if Wilber Mole is related to Willie Mole...
