5.0
I received a copy of 'The Adventures of Peter Cottontail and His Green Forest Friends' by the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book is split into three sections, telling the tales of three characters: Peter Rabbit, Grandfather Frog and Reddy Fox. Burgess has written the stories in a style which is somewhat akin to that of Beatrix Potter. Each tale is wonderfully enchanting, with adventure, mischief and humour interspersed throughout. This would be a lovely book to read to children as a bedtime story as some of the language used is sometimes a bit old fashioned and would need explaining to them. Each story is short and well paced, making them enjoyable and relatively quick to read through. Each story also has a moral, with characters coming to value strengths such as loyalty, honesty, forgiveness, friendship and kindness. These would also be brilliant to use, from a teaching perspective, as a focus to use in PSHE lessons.
A lovely story well worth sharing with younger ones.
