Spock's Cat Just to clarify Riverreed Greenland's comment below about the use of 'ass' in the book - in UK English, an ass is a donkey and the word is often used to mean 'silly, stupid, foolish'. I wouldn't, therefore, call it profanity. In US English, my understanding is that 'ass' is what we spell 'arse' in UK English. This is emphatically not what Kenneth Grahame means.

Otherwise, this is a very gentle, clean, and child-friendly book. There is a fight scene but this is not described graphically at all.
Riverreed Greenland It's very kid friendly. There is no sexual context of any kind, the worst profanity herein is the occasional use of the word "ass" and the violence is limited to an almost light-hearted swatting of the unpleasant stoats who had it coming, and characters carrying the odd rifle in odd places of the book. There is also a referred to beating up of a couple characters, but it is not done in a detailed matter.
Phillip Meyer No sexuality, very little profanity, and only some mild violence.
