This seasonal story is perfect for a winter's night, in a beautifully-designed gift edition with a final pop-up spread. A wintry tale based on Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Mr. Tod. This fresh imagining takes some of the most-loved Beatrix Potter characters on a seasonal adventure through a snowy forest. In this tale of mischief and bravery, will Peter and Benjamin save the day - and manage to stay clear of the terrible Mr Tod?
Fabulous graphics and true to the Beatrix Potter style. Very eye catching with great marketing appeal. Only complaint is the story line. It's just a loose adaptation of the old Mr. Tod tale. After waiting this long to start flexing those copy rights, the story should have at least been an original one. The possibilitys were endless and they blew it! Maybe the publishers wanted to keep the shock and awe to a minimum. Still it's a must have for any beatrix potter fan as the old characters and artwork are true to the originals. Beatrix Potter meant Mr Tod, my favorite character, as a villain, he's too wimpy in this tale . Let's hope to see more new tales,with an increase in the originality of the the story lines in the future. I'm thrilled to see this "new material" released!!! This is quality work and is as timeless as the originals.
