Reader Reviews:
A cute book, but it could be better... (1/1 people found this helpful)
I was looking for some Easter-related books to take to my classes... I've found 'Spot's First Easter' and 'Peter Rabbit's Easter' and I decided to buy both. As far as PRE is concerned, I believe it could be better.
The storyline is very simple. A few rabbits are trying to find the eggs and the reader is asked to flip the flaps in order to know what the rabbits have found... The plot is just too simple and, apart from that, sometimes the colour of the flaps is similiar to the colour of the backround, which makes things a bit confusing (visually speaking, of couse). Besides, some flaps are not well articulated: see what happens when Mopsy and Cotton-tail and trying to find the eggs behind the bushes: if you flip the flap from the top of the page, it interfeers with the lower flap...
Finally, the pop-up picture that there is in the end of the book is not particularly impressive... (if you've read Mr. Crocs's books you know what I'm talking about).
If you are trying to find a good Ester book, maybe you should take a look at 'Spot's First Easter'...
Some of the Best Stories for Young Children (1/7 people found this helpful)
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 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.
