Fun for the reader and the read-to Feb 10, 2008
By Emes
Even though our grandkids already have a copy of the original Peter Rabbit, this book is for adults and children to enjoy together. It has pop-ups, pull-outs, and fold-outs, and an absolutely splendid "net" trap with poor Peter Rabbit in it. The book requires either an older child or an adult on hand because, as with most pop-ups, a younger child can rip the tabs and illustrations.

Must-have book for Beatrix Potter fans Mar 17, 2007
By toosnoopy
I have an extensive collection of Beatrix Potter books, and this one is excellent. Each page has pop-ups, moveable tabs, and fold-outs. Peter is even caught in the gooseberry net, which is fashioned with a heavy thread net with a paper Peter caught up by his paws. My two girls thought the book was great but they know that it is mine! I wouldn't recommend this for children under 3 unless they are very gentle with their books. Excellent book for collectors!

A must-have Peter Rabbit book Apr 06, 2012
By Judy K. Polhemus
"Book Collector"
So, do you know Peter Rabbit? Does your child? Yesterday I read this story to our kindergarten students. I'm the librarian. I discovered that half didn't know our little Peter. Now they do--and they identify with his trials and tribulations.
In the beginning we learn that Peter feels dismay because he always gets into trouble and his three sisters are just saints! Now how is that possible? You know he must think that. Anyway, he has a new blue jacket about which his mother asks him to take particular care. He is admonished NOT to go near Mr. McGregor's garden. She goes shopping and leaves them on their own.
Yes, Peter finds himself at the garden! How did that happen? And--that ol' McGregor sees him and shouts him away. Poor Peter falls into a net and escapes only by peeling out of his new blue jacket. Oh, goodbye new jacket! Then he hides in a garden can of cold water. Oh dear, poor Peter! Finally, he escapes and scurries home where his mother puts him to bed with a draught of bitter medicine. Meanwhile, his goody-two-shoe sisters get blackberries and cream for supper, a mighty tasty meal for little rabbits. Peter Rabbit is once again the naughty rabbit and does get a dose of his own medicine.
The pop-ups are clever, mostly. A couple are just simple images, like a bird pulling up a worm. It is classic Beatrix Potter, so no negative comments from me! I had two books to read that day, so I skipped some of the pop-ups. The child who checked out the book notified me that I missed some. They don't miss a thing, do they?

Beautiful Jan 15, 2011
By Jessica Hilbert
"Busy Mom"
This is a beautiful, well made book. The pop outs are really nice all in the original artwork. The story is complete and there are little "action" tabs you pull to make the bunnies move. I don't usually take the time to write reviews but this book was so well made....I was very impressed. Very well priced. Perfect for an easter basket!

 Great illustrations, but not as easy to use as the original Aug 22, 2006
By Baby D's mom
My 18-month old loved the original book in the 80s (loved it too much so that some of the pulls no longer worked). This book is very nice and has great images/interactive pulls and pop-ups, but I found the folding pages to be a little tough to manage for toddlers. Overall a great classic beautifully illustrated!
