Yes, I'm actually reviewing a children's book and yes I feel like I'm a bit too old to do that. But heck, there are people out there writing children's books and they are grown-ups so whatever.

I found this little book at Edelweiss, it was free to download and I was just browsing and thought it could be nice to read a book about Peter Pan.

The book is really cozy, the text in the book is based on two songs from the musical Peter Pan; "I'm flying" by Carolyn Leigh and Adolph Green and show more "Neverland" by Betty Comden and together with beautiful illustrations makes it a wonderful children's book.

Here are some pages from the book:

I received this copy from Blue Apple Books through Edelweiss in return for an honest review! Thank you!
