Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, The (Rabbit Ears: A Classic Tale (Spotlight))

Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Beatrix Potter and her stories. My mom gave them to me when I was little. So, when I had a little one of my own how could I resist? I got this book for his first birthday, but when I read it out loud I was disappointed. While the pictures turned out vibrant, it's a very cut-down story of the beloved Peter Rabbit with a chewed-up moralless rendition of the original story.

C'mon guys, I totally understand you have to squeeze a story onto less pages for board books. But this was a sloppy way to go about it. Is this a joke? Amazon you've failed me here! No way would this book ever be found in an actual store because no one would buy it if given the chance to see it in real life first. Tiny, so tiny in fact it's hard to turn the pages. Terrible quality overall, super thin pages, and horribly pixelated, faint images. The worst quality book I've ever bought hands down. I wish I had read the reviews, but I guess I was in a hurry.

I thought this would be a decent rendition of the beloved children's book "The Tale of Peter Rabbit. It looks like someone photo-copied it. The images aren't even centered on the page. It's only a little bigger than the size of my iPhone. So sad that amazon would even allow this to be sold.

These books are just as I remember from my childhood.

I hope my daughter gets as much enjoyment out of them as i did. Peter Rabbit is a story of a rambunctious little rabbit who does not listen to his mother. He goes on an adventure and nearly gets caught by the farmer. As he is running from the farmer he gets tangled up and loses his shoes and his jacked. He makes it back home and immediately get put to bed without supper.

The illustrations are well done in this book. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it to my daughter. A remake of the vintage Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit tales. This version of less than thirty pages does not match the original collection of Peter Rabbit tales, but it is a nice introduction to the lessons of Peter for younger children. It lacks the lyrical language and appears curt in a few sections.

On the other hand, the essential story is present. What makes Biblio different?
