As I was reading this picture book, I made sure I paid close attention to each and every illustration. Before I started reading the book itself, I read the publisher's note that talked about how this particular edition contained "reorginated illustrations and such." Using the very first edition as a guide, the goal was to "follow faithfully Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from advances in modern printing and design techniques." It also mentioned how this edition contains six extra illustrations, as well as the text being "reset in a period typeface of the right weight to harmonise witht the delicacy of the pictures." When reading each page I did notice that the text complimented the illustration on the page beside it, and vice versa. The shorter versions of text seemed to pair up with the simple pictures, while the longer texts seemed to pair up with the more significant and complex pictures. I enjoyed the illustrations a lot. They were very lifelike indeed and added much to the text. It's been awhile since I've read this book, but in the beginning before we know what kind of trouble Peter gets himself into, we can see in the second illustration that trouble is going to sturr up. We can see this becuase Peter is not paying attention to his mother who is telling him and his sisters to stay out of trouble and to not go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Then, in the rest of the book the reader can clearly see Peter has gotten himself into trouble because he is by himself getting into something, or running from the evil Mr.McGregor; not anywhere near his sisters who seem to be behaving themselves. He not only is a little bunny, but he is a typical little boy.
