What Parents Need to Know
About Peter Pan
Parents need to know that the original language is rich, and the story, so much a part of our culture, inspires children to dream. Some of the racial and gender stereotypes, typical for their time, will need explanation.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about fantasy and reality. Do you think Peter Pan is living an ideal life? Do you think he'd be happier with a real family? Why, after fleeing their families, do the boys want a mother to tell them stories? Do you look forward to growing older, or are you reluctant like Peter Pan?

Lives inI rate this title on for age 2 and give ittimeless. i love it more every time i read it.
peter pan is among my most treasured comfort books (where most people have comfort food, i have comfort books because, well, I'm just funny that way). j.m. barrie has a sense of humor that at times is so dry it reminds me of lemony snicket but at the same time is just so innocently fun and happy. peter pan has some elusive element of fairy dust in it- it soars.

What a sweet Book!
Wow. Peter Pan is a wonderful book and a must-read classic. I really enjoyed it but if you want to delve deeper into Peters life, dont read "Peter Pan in Scarlet", (the "official sequel, but is absolutely horrid, boring, slow, and stupid, a complete waste of paper). You should read "Peter and the starcatchers and the sequel "peter and the shadow thieves"
