Look, Peter Rabbit
Peter Rabbit has a lot of pals, and they're all hiding from him! Very young readers can help Peter find his furry and feathered friends behind the flaps in this bright, friendly book based on Beatrix Potter's beloved stories (The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and many more). On each page, the blue-jacketed bunny is asked "Who is it, Peter?" or "Who's there now?" Readers turn the half-page, which is in a rounded wave shape for easy gripping, and discover Jeremy Fisher, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Tom Kitten, and a special surprise friend on the final page. Children will love the big, bold illustrations of their favorite (or soon-to-be-favorite) Beatrix Potter characters against vibrantly colored backdrops of orange, green, blue, etc. This cheerful board book makes a fine companion to other interactive stories, including Listen! Peter Rabbit, Hop! Peter Rabbit, and Hello! Peter Rabbit. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

About the author
Beatrix Potter
3,359 books2,143 followersHelen Beatrix Potter was an English author, illustrator, mycologist, and conservationist who is best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.
Born into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology.
In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Warne died before the wedding.
Potter eventually published 24 children's books, the most recent being The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots (2016), and having become financially independent of her parents, was able to buy a farm in the Lake District, which she extended with other purchases over time.
In her forties, she married a local solicitor, William Heelis. She became a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to write and illustrate children's books. Potter died in 1943 and left almost all of her property to The National Trust in order to preserve the beauty of the Lake District as she had known it, protecting it from developers.
Potter's books continue to sell well throughout the world, in multiple languages. Her stories have been retold in various formats, including a ballet, films, and in animation.

The description for this book doesn't match my copy. I have ISBN 0-7232-4825-7. This description for another edition matches my book.

At 16 months, A requests this book often. As a parent I don't see the value in this book as it just introduces Beatrix Potter characters, but A loves the peek-a-boo style pages.

For fans of this series, it may be good, but for me, I found it boring. That being said it wasn't a bad book, just a yawn.
