3.0 out of 5 stars Classic story and illustrations, awkwardly organized., June 3, 1999

This review is from: The Complete Adventures of Peter Rabbit (Picture Puffin Books) (Paperback)

There are three stories in this book, the first of which is the Tale of Peter Rabbit. I think that this edition could be better organized, given its intended audience: First of all, you need to be able to read the table of contents to know where one story ends and the next begins. Also, the binding is very tight, making it difficult for the "baby-preschool" age group for which it is intended to flip through at the book independently. In my copy, at least, about half the story of Peter Rabbit is included a second time, presumably in error, after the third story. A small child might do better with a smaller, hardbound version.

Over the years we have purchased many copies of this book from Amazon. Our children were raised on Peter Rabbit stories and loved them. Now, we live in a small town and every time a friend or friends' daughter has a baby we give this Peter Rabbit book as a present for the new baby. Those who have received it tell us they look forward to reading it to their baby. I recommend this book highly.
