The Tale of Pigling Bland (The Original Peter Rabbit Books)

Rating:
Summary: Good sense and peppermints
Review: "'Bacon and eggs, bacon and eggs!' clucked a hen on a perch." Pigling Bland faces a wicked, dangerous world,but good sense, resourcefulness and peppermints... No, I won't spoil a classic 1913 Beatrix Potter story for you. To be read out loud in a quiet, old-fashioned voice by the fireside on a winter's evening, savouring the sonorous words and inimitable watercolour illustrations. There's even some love interest. Ideal for the 4-8 age group and older.

Rating:
Summary: Poor, rambling story
Review: Pigling Bland isn't a very good story. It's time to admit that. The tale just sort of stops without finishing up as characters wander off in the final pages. Makes little sense and I can't imagine what could be learned from it. Low entertainment value, too.
