Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Classic Tale of Peter Rabbit
Beatrix Potter · 2023
82/100
👍 Worth It
One of the most beloved children's stories ever written, and for very good reason. Peter's disobedience and its gentle consequences land exactly right for young children, Potter's illustrations are timelessly charming, and the moral never feels preachy. The 2023 edition's specific format details are thin in the dossier, but the underlying story needs no defense — it has forty-five million copies' worth of endorsement.
