What’s the name of the children’s book (1970′s-1980′s) that had a toad and a mole and other animals?

I can’t remember much details, but it was a more serious children’s book. I think the toad had a pocket watch.

I think you are talking about Kenneth Grahame’s "The Wind in the Willows." It is actually from the 20s, but had a revival in the late 70s when an animated movie came out based on the book.

GREAT book! I’ve read it several times and even the "fanfic" follow ups that came out in the late 90s. Good for early teens to read too.
