Reception

[edit]

CNET said "A coloring book and crayons are included in the box with the CD-ROM, but the format is small, and the drawings are too detailed for young children"[4]

Coming Soon Magazine deemed it one of the best interactive storybooks ever made.[5] PC Mag felt it offered a "wonderful introduction" to the Peter Rabbit universe.[6] Standard Speaker noted that everything is "faithfully transferred" from the source material.[7]
