Peter Pan was written by J. M. Barrie. It has no illustrator, but it is cleverly written. It was first published in 1911 under the title Peter and Wendy and again in 1921 under the title Peter Pan and Wendy. The edition that I read was published in 2008. You can get this book at the Brookfield Public Library.Peter Pan is about the Darling children coming to live with Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. Wendy becomes their mother, and they live there in the Neverland a long time. Then Captain Hook captures the children, and it is up to Peter Pan to save them. Afterwards, Peter takes them all home, and Mrs. Darling decides to adopt the Lost Boys. She wanted to adopt Peter, too, but Peter wouldn't let her.
My favorite part of Peter Pan is when Peter is napping on a rock on a river in the Mermaid's Lagoon and the tide rises. When the tide rises on Mermaid Lagoon, that rock gets covered by water. Peter wakes up, but he can't fly back. The tide keeps rising, and Peter thinks to himself, "I am going to die. I think it will be an adventure to die." So he keeps lying there, and a Never Bird comes along the river floating on her nest (her nest had fallen into the river and she would not desert her eggs- they are not hatched yet in this story). She tries to tell Peter to get into her nest, but of course he couldn't understand her - she being a bird and all - and he didn't. Instead, he says something back that the bird couldn't understand. But will he ever get into the nest? If he does, what will he do with the eggs? Find out in the ever-exiting book, Peter Pan!
