Product Description
Everyone knows the famous story of Peter Rabbit heading off to Mr. McGregors garden and how he squeezed under the gate and stole some radishes. But what most people dont know is what happened before that. That is...until now. Packed with interactive, fun novelty features, which include a paperengineered map, changing pictures wheel, pop-ups, lift the flaps and envelopes with real pull-out letters, this exciting prequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit follows Peter Rabbit on his hare-brained adventure, meeting lots of friends along the way, and leading up to one very foolish meeting with a man who has a most abiding hatred of all little rabbits.

 A must-have for fans of Peter Rabbit! July 22, 2008
Peter Rabbit A Lucky Escape is a delight for both young and older fans of Peter Rabbit. It is beautifully bound and tells the story of Peter Rabbit's 'excursion' to Farmer McGregor's cabbage patch and his narrow escape from being put into a pie by Mrs McGregor.
The book itself has many features that will delight readers - pop-ups including a full page pop-up of Farmer McGregor, lift-the-flaps that reveal characters from the Peter Rabbit stories such as Mr Tod the Fox, Samuel Whiskers etc, little envelopes that reveal correspondence between Peter Rabbit and Farmer McGregor, a 3-D cut-out of the Ginger and Pickles store and many more.
The text is simply written and in big lettering - perfect for younger readers. On the whole, I'd highly recommend this book to both young and older fans of Peter Rabbit. My 3 1/2 year old daughter asks for this book almost every week since my husband got it for her a couple of months ago, and on occassion, she peruses it by herself though I would caution parents to supervise whilst their children are reading for the book has some delicate feautures that may not hold up to indelicate handling. Final verdict - a fun and delightful read!
 Fun for adults, less for kids April 25, 2008
This is a beautiful pop-up book that looks nice but lacks a serious storyline. The story doesn't hold a candle to the magic of the Beatrix Potter books. My daughter was excited to sit down and open it up, but hasn't asked for it since. The story simply didn't hold her attention. I got it for $6.49 on amazon, so perhaps it was worth it, but not for much more.
