4.0 out of 5 stars Benjamin Bunny, April 27, 2000

By	Shelly Richardson (Van Wert, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tale of Benjamin Bunny (Beatrix Potter's Shaped Board Books) (Board book)

My 2 year old loves this story she calls it, the bunny's friend book. She enjoys this story more than Peter Rabbit. I think that the story is more eventful than Peter Rabit; and it is nice that the bunnies get to finish their adventure. I have read hundreds of stories to my daughter and we both find this one enjoyable my 5 month old also seems to enjoy it. She likes the colorful pictures. I guess you could say that everyone is happy when this story is chosen. If you like Peter Rabbit you'll like Benjamin Bunny.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original books restored and presented in a child-sized book for everyone to enjoy, October 20, 2005

By	A Reader (MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (Potter) (Hardcover)

My son thoroughly enjoys this series. "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" is a particularly good story to read after the child becomes familiar with "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," which sets up this story of Benjamin Bunny and Peter Rabbit's visit to Mr. McGreggor's garden. The story itself is told in the same charming prose, using appropriate words that many of today's readers tend to avoid because they appear "too difficult." The series published by Frederick Warne, in particular, had the vision to size the book perfectly for small hands, allowing even the youngest "readers" to enjoy the story, whether it is read, or whether one studies the many delightful, detailed images that fit the text so well. I highly recommend this book, as well as the rest of the Beatrix Potter series published by Frederick Warne.

1.0 out of 5 stars This version is not good, friends!, January 8, 2009

By	J. Hopp (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tale of Benjamin Bunny (Beatrix Potter's Shaped Board Books) (Board book)

This board book has been abridged, I'm assuming, in order to cater to younger children. However, it has been abridged so poorly that the story has become incomprehensible even to an adult. I purchased this book as a present but ended up putting it right into the recycling bin. I didn't even want to give it away. No Beatrix Potter appreciator should be exposed to this; the unabridged version would make more sense to any child.
