Dear Peter Rabbit

Dear Peter Rabbit Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Peter Rabbit is invited to a housewarming party by one of the Three Little Pigs, a behind-the-scenes adventure begins to unfold. This collection of previously unseen letters from the land of make-believe offers us a rare and fresh glimpse into the lives of well-loved characters. Along the way, Goldilocks makes a much happier return visit to the Bears' house, finds Peter Rabbit's lost jacket, and befriends Little Red Riding Hood. This delightful tale of interconnecting friendships, written by Alma Flor Ada and enhanced by Leslie Tryon's detailed and engaging pictures, is sure to warm the hearts of young and old alike.

Synopsis:

Alma Flor Ada has written a book that charms the reader with the possibility that there is a world in which all of our favorite storybook characters know each other. In this epistolary romp through some well-loved storybook terrain, Pig One, Peter Rabbit, Goldilocks, Baby Bear and Little Red Riding Hood all correspond--and meet at last at Goldilock's birthday party. Full color.

About the Author

As a child Alma Flor Ada had many imaginary conversations with storybook characters. Many years later, upon finding her grandfather's letters to her grandmother, she discovered that correspondence can tell quite a story. This book was originally conceived during the long drives from her mountain home in Lake County, California, to the University of San Francisco, where she is a professor. Alma Flor Ada's previous books for Atheneum include The Gold Coin (Christopher Award 1991), The Unicorn of the West, Serafina's Birthday, and My Name Is María Isabel.
