Whenever children's classics are discussed, Peter Rabbit is mentioned, so I figured I'd spend a nice summer day finding out what all the fuss is about. Turns out I hadn't missed much. There's a touch of darkness here in there (which I appreciate; not sure how kids would handle it, though), but overall the stories are just meh. The illustrations are cute, but unremarkable as well. I feel like I need something more from children's stories than just a silly rabbit stealing vegetables and other animals trying to eat the bunnies.

Brambly Hedge, on the other hand, I loved and thought much more charming. More about that later.
