The Tale of Peter Rabbit Story Board Book

This book is so badly written a great deal of it does not make sense. I wish to cancel it.

The gift arrived in good time. The clear plastic cover of the box was unsealed at one side and was a bit grubby. The book was in perfect condition and as expected. However, the blanket was rather underwhelming - the fabric was quite thin and not very soft, unlike other 'blankies' my older granddaughter has. I decided it wasn't quite nice enough for a gift for our expected new granddaughter so returned it.

120 years (1902-2022) since the first publication of the Tale of Peter Rabbit. A must for Beatrix Potter fans, a beautiful collectors book. Especially lovely as a gift for a new baby born this year or a child’s birthday (or adult birthday if a fan like me) Who doesn’t love Peter Rabbit ? 🐇

A remake of the vintage Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit tales. This version of less than thirty pages does not match the original collection of Peter Rabbit tales, but it is a nice introduction to the lessons of Peter for younger children. It lacks the lyrical language and appears curt in a few sections. On the other hand, the essential story is present. Peter, unlike his siblings, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, cannot avoid containing his curiosity and disobeying his mother. He soon finds himself being chased by Farmer McGregor facing a fate similar to his father. Peter is a clever fellow, but he has several narrow escapes. In the end, his siblings do seem to be properly rewarded, while he remains the black sheep of the family. The watercolor illustrations are not quite as muted and are more modern. They do an adequate job of portraying the action for young readers. I would recommend the book especially for preschoolers

Had to return, because the book arrived with a dirty, sticky substance on it. (Maybe something spilled on it? Gross. First place a board book goes is into baby's mouth.) Also, this is a paraphrase of the original Tale of Peter Rabbit. If you're a fan of Beatrix Potter's delightful, and very British, wording, you're not going to like this. I'm giving 2 stars, because the book is very attractive, and sturdy looking. (And, my money was refunded immediately.)
