Tale of Peter Rabbit (Anniversary) | Beatrix Potter

The Tale of Peter Rabbit is the original classic by Beatrix Potter. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902 and endures as Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved tale. It tells the story of a very mischievous rabbit and the trouble he encounters in Mr McGregor's vegetable garden! Re-originated in 2002 to mark the centenary of publication bringing it closer to the original edition, six illustrations were restored, four that were removed in 1903 to make room for endpapers and two that have never been used before, Beatrix having initially prepared more illustrations than could be accommodated in the original format. Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-duck, Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. With revenue from the sales of her books, Beatrix Potter bought a farm - Hill Top - in the English Lake District, where she later became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing and bedding, nursery decor products and collectables. Upon her death, Beatrix Potter left 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped and protected for future generations to enjoy. Today Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, activity books and gift and sound books. The Tale of Peter Rabbit is number one in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books. Look out for the rest! 1 The Tale of Peter Rabbit 2 The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin 3 The Tailor of Gloucester 4 The Tale of Benjamin Bunny 5 The Tale of Two Bad Mice 6 The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle 7 The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher 8 The Tale of Tom Kitten 9 The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck 10 The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies 11 The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse 12 The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes 13 The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse 14 The Tale of Mr. Tod 15 The Tale of Pigling Bland 16 The Tale of Samuel Whiskers 17 The Tale of The Pie and the Patty-Pan 18 The Tale of Ginger and Pickles 19 The Tale of Little Pig Robinson 20 The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit 21 The Story of Miss Moppet 22 Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes 23 Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes

Peter is tempted to sneak into Mr. McGregor's garden to steal some vegetables. Once inside the garden, Peter gorges on lettuce, radishes, and French beans. Mr. McGregor, the gardener, discovers Peter and chases him. Peter barely escapes, losing his shoes and jacket in the process. He returns home frightened and exhausted.

Beatrix Potter's “The Tale of Peter Rabbit“ is a story about taking responsibility for your actions. It's a good choice for teaching kids about making wise choices. Plus, it's a chance to explore gardening and nature.

I had such a charming time with Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle I decided to revisit the whole series! This is definitely a 'behave children, and listen to your mother or it will go badly for you' story, but you can't help feeling sorry for naughty little Peter - I challenge anyone not to feel a heartstring tugged when you see him crying - and cheering at his timely escape. The artwork in this series is lovely; I can highly recommend the rereading experience.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit re-created and illustrated by Beatrix Potter tell us a tale of peter‘s narrow escape. As he gets into trouble and causes mischief in their neighbors garden. The illustrations bring life to a classic story. Potter creates new life within the story by using soft almost pastel colors to create her illustrations.

This book follows the story of peter rabbit as he causes mischief and gets into things he‘s not supposed to. Beatrix Potter has created beautiful and classic illustrations throughout the story. This book was originally published in 1901 meaning that it is truly stood the test of time. The book focuses on soft colors within the illustrations to create a comforting feel.

#OnThisDay in 1893 Beatrix Potter wrote a letter to 5 year old Noel Moore, the son of her former governess. Included in the letter was a small story about a cheeky rabbit named Peter. A few years (and stories) later, the Moore family realized the commercial potential in Potter's animal tales. Beatrix expanded Peter's story and added some illustrations before introducing Peter Rabbit to the world in 1901. #HistoryGetsLIT

I never had a rabbit before. But now I‘m fostering Jak, who is a hecking delight. He also looks like Peter Rabbit. I‘m gonna make him a little blue jacket and dress him up soon…If you know of anyone wanting to adopt a rabbit, send them our way so Jak is spared from that 😂

Beatrix Potter‘s work is amazing! The illustrations make me feel warm inside. Her artwork is incredibly endearing, no matter which book (or piece) you‘re looking at. More ⬇️

Nalbuque As far as the story, I gotta say I did not remember much of it. While reading, I was on the edge of my seat. It‘s cute, it‘s nerve wrecking, and it‘s a decent length (mind it‘s a kiddo book!). I wish there was more of a closure, but maybe I just need to follow up and read the rest of the series! 3y
Nalbuque You do not need a bunny to love this book but it does help. Rabbits are great companions, full of character and adorable to the max. Just like Petter Rabbit 🤍 3y

Reggie Jak looks magnificent. 3y

“Aww the bunny‘s mama!” Little fingers approve, though I can‘t convince her Peter doesn‘t have a boo boo and is only getting his coat buttoned. Of course by the time I grabbed my phone to snag a pic, she‘d closed the book.

This wonderful TL, RA picture book is about a family of rabbits. Flospy, Mospy, Cottontail, and Peter who live with their mother in a sand bank, underneath the root of a very big for tree. The story follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he gets into, and is chased around the garden of Mr. Gregor. He escapes and returns home to his mother.....you will have to read it to find out what happens next. Great children's literature.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award winning MF picture book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It is the story of a mischievous little bunny who breaks rules instead of obeying his mother and staying safe. He finds himself in danger throughout the story and ends up sick in bed instead of eating treats with his siblings. https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/book/tale-peter-rabbit
#ucflae3414su20

nquintus This beautiful picture book would be fantastic in an early elementary setting as part of an RT. It could be used to tie in to an SEL lesson about behavior and consequences. Used in an RT activity, this book meets UDL guideline 9.3 regarding self-assessment and regulation. It also meets ESOL strategy 16 by integrating speaking, listening, and reading. 4y
DrSpalding This is a classic story that young children should be exposed to. As I mentioned in class, this book can also be implemented in a social studies lesson. Teachers use it as the basis of a mock trial to teach students about our judicial system. This could be incorporated with your social emotional learning activity. 4y

The Tale of Peter Rabbit is not only my favorite tale but he is also my favorite character. (This is considering Winnie The Pooh holds a close tie with him, they are both so dear to me) the story is darling and i can‘t help but love Peter and his mischievous ways.

From someone living in an area with one of the shortest growing seasons in the contiguous US, I find that my sympathies have shifted as I‘ve aged. Poor Mr. McGregor! At least our spring has finally sprung.

After The Laws of the Skies I went with the May pick of #ChildrensClassicRead2019 to soothe me but I should have known better. Potter's beautiful artwork aside, this is kind of a dark story about being out in the world & suffering the consequences of having a healthy curiosity & appetite. The world is full of danger & evil 😭 I felt like I was in the same surrealist fever dream, only now in the English countryside. Stay inside & read, Peter 🐰😰

DivineDiana Never thought about the lessons of this story. 🤔 Good advice! 5y
TheAromaofBooks I always think of Beatrix Potter as a writer of fairy tales, in a way. They have that darker edge/lesson wrapped up in cozy paper. 5y

The chocolate bunny that the hubs put in my Easter basket had a cute little copy of this book in it, so I decided to reread it. My grandma used to read it to me every year before Easter. I can still here her singing “here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail. Hippity hoppity Easter‘s on it‘s way” 💖🐇💐

I think I‘m physically incapable of leaving a bookstore without purchasing books. I had an hour and a half to kill between the time my train arrived in Cary and my lunch date with friends, so where better to spend that time than the local B&N. It has been completely rearranged since the last time I was there, but I still found a few books. And a Peter Rabbit & a PR tote (with a tail!). 🐰😱 #bookhaul #nortoncriticaledition #sohocrime

8little_paws How was your train ride? I travel Amtrak regularly. 6y
DGRachel @8little_paws There were a couple nit-picky things I didn‘t like, but overall it was a really positive experience and it was so much more relaxing than driving 7 hours round trip by myself. I can definitely see myself taking the train again and I may even go to Cary more often because of the convenience. 😊 6y
Graciouswarriorprincess @DGRachel let me know when you are in Cary again! I would love to see you! 6y
