K-3
Illustrated by
Charles Santore.
Adult fans of the classic sentimental story will be pleased that this edition contains the original, unabridged text, though it makes for a lengthy picture-book narrative. Fans of Santore's realistic style of painting will also be pleased: the large trim size of the volume adds to the drama of the artist's detailed, if stiff and formal, illustrations.

Illustrated by
Monique Felix.
In this reissue of the illustrated edition, the complete text of the classic tale about a toy rabbit is accompanied by full-page and double-page pastel pictures that are both ample and appealing. The handsomely designed book will please fans of the story.
