Editorial Reviews

Peter Rabbit comes alive in this sweet and fun board book and puzzle. Youngsters not yet familiar with the wonder of Beatrix Potter are in for a treat when they meet the adorable Peter and his friends. Showcased in this sturdy box is a board book with six spreads in which kids will meet Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle Duck, and Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, just to name a few. Also included is a six-sided block puzzle that features the images from the book. Along with the durability of the pieces, each image has a colored border, so young eyes and hands can put the puzzle together in no time. A sweet introduction, and a splendid variation, to an outstanding classic.
