4 inches by 51/2 inches

It doesn't say how small this book is. Good for a child but not good as a classroom read aloud.

Different cover than pictured

I've loved this book since childhood and when i saw that there was a special edition of it, i wanted it right way.

My book cover is silver but is not the book cover pictured above. Hence, the lower star rating.

miniature...not normal size

This book was made for people with tiny hands. Why even make a miniature book? My child puts it with her dolls so they can read while she does.

Great for babies/toddlers.

I purchased this book for my son. I was trying to keep him away from my Beatrix Potter complete works. I expected a bigger book but I really liked it even so. It is like a pocket book for an adult, but it is perfect for my 3-year old.

Dust cover quality is poor. Silver is dull and printed on a budget

Dust cover quality is poor. Silver is dull and printed on a budget. The binding was crooked and wrinkled. Pages are hard to turn and feel like plastic.
