This was, to be honest, just OK. I enjoyed it as a cultural artifact, but as a story...not so much. It certainly isn't something I'd read to a young child.

From the beginning, Peter Pan drove me crazy. What a spicy little rascal! As I continued reading, I realized how alone and sad Peter really was. In the end, I think the moral of the story is showing us what would happen if we stayed young forever. It also shows us how much good mothers do, and what might happen if a little boy never had a mother.
