First Sentence
"As sure as you're alive now, Peter Rabbit, some day I will catch you," snarled Reddy Fox, as he poked his black nose in the hole between the roots of the Big Hickory-tree which grows close to the Smiling Pool. Read the first page

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, Jun 11 2011

This book is reproduced in such poor quality.
All of the illustrations are in tones of grey, no colour and they are very poor reproductions of the original art work.
I was very disappointed as I had this book as a child and was excited to be able to purchase one.
Even the colour print on the front of the book is exceptionally poor.
Very disappointed.
However, the story is a timeless classic, but I bought the book for the drawings.

5.0 out of 5 stars 28 and still learning, April 6 2010

This review is from: The Burgess Animal Book for Children (Paperback)
This book is amazing!!! Keeps the attention of my 4 year old although it is probably best geared for older kids. Teaches kids (and adults) about all kinds of animals through a fun story book. Would consider it a must have for home school moms. Great way to get kids interested in the the genius phylum and species etc of animals. Also, gives amazing facts that I never knew...I had no clue that there are rabbits that can swim! Looked it up on the internet to verify and see pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Illustrations are in black and white, Sep 17 2009

This review is from: The Burgess Animal Book for Children (Paperback)
The book is fine -- good-sized print is easy to read. Just be aware that in this edition (from Yesterday's Classics), the illustrations are in greyscale. If you're using a field guide while reading, this might not matter to you. I couldn't figure this out while deciding which edition to purchase, so I'm typing this quick review so the next person will know. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great mix of education and fun, July 24 2011
By A Sailor - Published on Amazon.com
This is a great mixture of a fun storyline that is filled with educational facts about the wild animals around us.
My 4 yr old has recently become interested in longer chapter books and she is completely engrossed in these stories. The animals all have fun names and conversations with each other but the author sneaks in tons of real factual information.
