PETER RABBIT AND OTHER BEATRIX POTTER TALES

PETER RABBIT AND OTHER BEATRIX POTTER TALES

I still remember my mother reading me the wonderful tales of Beatrix Potter as a child. She would choose a few stories from the library, and at our afternoon reading time, out would come the sweet little white books decorated with the beautiful illustrations of animals. I think what I loved most of all about these tales was their relatability. Bad decisions were made and consequences felt, unexpected adventures occurred and were conquered, and the behind the scenes care and blessing of others was appreciated. I especially gravitated toward the the tales of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Jeremy Fisher, Squirrel Nutkin, and Jemima Puddleduck. How I loved these stories! What a delight it was that the year of the 100th anniversay of Peter Rabbit was the same year my first child was born. Everything was decorated in the classic illustrations of this amazing artist, and I began the process of reading these dear little stories to my own daughter!
