Title: Very cheap way to get a classic story
Review: Peter Rabbit is a classic primarily because of its illustrations, and on that most important point, this Dalmatian Press edition fails.The color on the illustrations is over-saturated. The paintings look dark, "wet" and blurry. Perhaps the latter is a result of too much enlargement.Thin covers and stapled binding in the great tradition of Scholastic. (sarcasm intended)Still, this cost a buck. (Wonder if it came from the Dollar Spot at Target?) And it does provide a fuller telling of the story than some truncated editions (such asWhere's Peter Rabbit?: A Lift-the-Flap Book (Lift the Flap)). That means your child will enjoy such gems as:"Don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Your father had an accident there. He was put in a pie." (!!!)
