Customer Reviews

Great Valentine's gift for a little one!
I found this board book sweet and beautifully illustrated. Little ones will love the bright and colourful illustrations, and will be pleasantly surprised by the voice of Peter Rabbit telling his mother, "I love you," which is activated when turning to the last page. I don't agree with the prior reviewer's opinion that this book sends the message that its ok to be rude to your friends. Yes it is true that Peter Rabbit hurries by without stopping to wish his friends a happy Valentine's Day, but that's simply out of his excitement to give his mom her Valentine. Furthermore, I highly doubt that young children will be bothered by the fact that this is not "authentic" Beatrix Potter:)

There Goes Peter Rabbit!
In this board book, Peter Rabbit scurries by his forest friends with nary a word or glance to deliver his valentine. The lesson here: it's OK to be rude to your friends.

Keeneye has always believed there should be a law against imitating Beatrix Potter and (true to form) this effort is a D- with the illustration featuring starchy-looking Jemima Puddleduck the least awkward.

The book is a tad too big for a wee hands but the tot will find a way to open and close the book a million times to hear Peter's brief recorded message on the last page.

All in all, a well-intended endeavour but (parents and guardians) ... proceed with caution! Start the tot with the real thing!
