5.0 out of 5 stars Charming Christmas story of mice who repay a good turn., 25 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tailor of Gloucester (The Original Peter Rabbit Books) (Hardcover)
One of Beatrix Potter's longer and more sophisticated tales, which can be enjoyed by the adult reader as well as the child. Mice repay a good turn by helping a poor tailor at Christmas time - this might sound like a rather sentimental theme but it is executed charmingly. The prose is beautiful to read too - I would really recommend this to anyone who is fed up with reading their kids the poorly-written "dumbed down" stuff so often offered up to children!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still One of the Best Children's Stories of all Time, 15 May 2007
By J. Chippindale (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

The Tale of Peter Rabbit was written in 1900 and has stood the test of time very well. Generations of children have loved the story of Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Tom Kitten and Jemima Puddle-Duck among others and treasured the books of Beatrix Potter. It is up there among the greats of children's literature with Wind in the Willows, The Water Babies, Peter Pan, Treasure Island and many others.

In these days of computer games and electronic toys of one kind or another, books sadly are sometimes not as high on the list as they were a few years ago, perhaps that is why literacy in schools is not all that it could be. Personally as a child books were always my first love and Christmas would not have been the same without a Rupert annual.

Stories that involve animals as the main characters in books always seem to fascinate young children and Peter Rabbit has always been up there with the best. Next time you have to buy a present for a child, or even want to treat one of your younger grandchildren for no particular reason. Instead of looking for the latest DVD why not buy them a book. Peter Rabbit is a good one to start with.
