Obviously this only took me Two Seconds to read, but those Two Seconds were a pure delight. I bought this for Mother's Day and as a fanatic of both Emma Thompson and Beatrix Potter (and Scotland), I know Mum will love it.

I have a definite fondness for Potter's Peter Rabbit so that's probably most of it. The drawing and story are perfectly done for Beatrix Potter fans- cozy, comforting, pastoral sweetness. Thompson did a great job of keeping the tone of the original books in her language, while gently updating the feel just the right amount. It's a bit long and has some challenging words so would make a good one-on-one read aloud.

This book is just as good as the classic! The tale of Peter Rabbit is very cute and fun to read to kids. This book takes Peter Rabbit beyond the Mr. McGregor's garden and he goes on many new adventures! Really cute story!

Children are unlikely to be bothered by the differences between Potter’s style and her modern successors, but adult fans may not find all they are hoping for here. read more

I was nervous when I heard there would be a new Peter Rabbit book, but Emma Thompson captures the essence of the original tales perfectly. It's a fun, delightful tale that fits Peter wonderfully and I really enjoyed it. It has a sly sense of humor. The illustrations are beautiful and look just like the original Peter Rabbit tales. A very nice addition to any collection.

I rolled my eyes the entire way through. I can't imagine any child finding this entertaining either.
