The Tale of Peter Rabbit is told very true to the original Beatrix Potter story in this HBO produced video. The music is delightful. Many of the songs have words and melodies that will be easily remembered. The animation is as close to bringing the original water colors to life as I can imagine. My 20 month old twin girls are totally fascinated by the video and even act out the story, taking turns being Peter and Mr. McGregor.

After watching the video a few times, they sat in rapt attention to listen to me read the story from a book. So in this case, watching something on television facilitated children wanting to read more about it.

The narration by Carol Burnett is upbeat and playful, and surprisingly easy on the ears. This is the kind of video you are thrilled has captured your children's imaginations.

One of our 2.5 year old's favorites. Everything from the music, animation and of course, Carol Burnett make it a very pleasant and lesson - oriented video. And, it's only 20 minutes which gives our daughter a satisfying but not too long dose of television downtime!
