Summary: W. Weasel is a treat for the eyes as well as the heart!
Review: At first, what appealed me to this book was the beautiful illustrations by Fred Marcellino. After I read the story, I just fell in love with it all as a whole! The story is of fish, foxes, swans, sparrows, gulls, and -of course- weasels. The anthropomorphic critters live together in a weasel community. The story's heros -Zeke Whitebelly, Wendy Blackish, and Bagley Brown Jr.- are all enchanting and caught in a wistful story of love, heroism, and fish. Oh yes, the fish? Let's just say that, in this story, love can be so strong that no amount of differences can deter from that. Personally, I think of it as a wonderful story about breaking beyond people's differences and truely seeing into one's heart as they really are. It is a wonderful treat for all ages. Just perfect to be appealing for kids and adults alike. Together, with Marcellino's black & white and color pictures, this story delights!

Summary: A masterpiece
Review: Bagley Brown is a loner in the weasel community of Long Island's Wainscott woods. He doesn't ever dance, doesn't ever socalize. Surprising behavior of someone with a famous father, the very weasel who coordinated the digging of the famous Double B, a tunnel that leads right to a henhouse. Bagley's thinking about Bridget, a brook trout who lives in a pond down the brook from his den. But a horrific threat, from an osprey terrorising the pond, endangers Bridget's life. But what can one small weasel do about it? A beautifully written tale, with delightful illustratitons. The ending is a bit sad, however. :-( Don't overlook this book, no matter what your age!

Summary: Spiffy doo!
Review: I originally read this book in the 3rd grade, as it was given to me as a present for my Birthday. From the first few pages I was entranced by the world Mr. Seidler had conceived. The beautiful illustrations aided the mind and brought a new perspective on an animal I thought to be mean and weird: the weasel.

This is truly a perfect book for any reader ages 8-12. After that, you have to be able to appreciate the beautiful illustrations and lessons that are taught in the book. I reccomend "The Wainscot Weasel" to any parent looking for a book for their child, or another relative looking for that perfect present. Buy it today!

Summary: There Was Something About This Book...
Review: I read this book three or four years ago and I don't really remember it. It wasn't a particularly interesting or original plot, but there was just something about it... I couldn't put it down! I recomend it to 3rd and 4th graders.

Summary: A Marvelous Read
Review: The Wainscott Weasel by Tor Seidler is a marvelous book for children. Any person who enjoys books like The Wind in the Willows, Watership Down, Charlotte's Web, and Winnie-the-Pooh will love this humorous and moving story. It concerns Bagley Brown, Jr. He is the son of a famous, brilliant weasel. Bagley has neither lived up to his family name nor lived down his parents death. To further his troubles, he falls in love...with a fish. Eventually, Bagley must try to save his love and live up to his heritage. This is a humorous and adventurous tale that takes you into another world. Any child should enjoy this.

Summary: This is one of the best books I ever read.
Review: This book is about a group of weasels that live on LongIsland in the Wainscott Woods. The story is about the lifeof the weasels. The main characters of the book are Bagley Brown, which is famous for his name because his father built the Double-B which is used for transporting eggs from a farm. After his father made the tunnel he was never seen again because a night owl got him, but only Bagley knew. Zeke is a nice weasel and a good dancer. Wendy is a girl from the north fork. The story is about the many adventures of Bagley. It is a great book with super great illustrations, I am a nine year old boy and I loved this book.
