Welcome to Litsy!

For #SeriesLove2025 , I have decided to read all the Beatrix Potter books. In January, I read The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was like visiting a dear old friend, and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, which I had not read before. Although Squirrel Nutkin is adorable to look at, I was quite surprised by his rudeness of manner! 🐿️

This book would be wonderful to use with children in teaching then the importance of listening to adults so they can be safe.

“Now my dears, you may remember that I told you that Mr. McGregor wad not a bad man.”

In this story, the main character Peter Rabbit disobeys his mother and sneaks into Mr. McGregor‘s garden and he ends up on an adventure that teaches him a lesson

“Now, my dears, you may wear your new coats and your new bonnets, but you will not go into Mr. McGregor's garden.“

Peter Rabbit sneaks into Mr. McGregor's garden, where adventure and danger await. This story shows bravery and the consequences of mischief, perfect for young readers.

This book tells a charming story about curiosity and mischief. The story follows the adventurous young rabbit, Peter, as he defies his mother‘s warnings and ventures into the forbidden garden of Mr. McGregor.

“Now run along, and don‘t get into mischief.”
It‘s a simple but enduring reminder of childhood innocence and the frequent pull towards curiosity.

I remember being intrigued by Peter‘s boldness as a child, even though I knew he was wrong to disobey.

This whimsical tale of Peter Rabbit‘s mischievous adventure in Mr. McGregor‘s garden is a wonderful introduction to the consequences of not following directions. The rich illustrations and gentle narrative tone make it a favorite for young readers, while the lesson of listening to one‘s elders is subtly delivered. Peter‘s cheeky personality and the vibrant countryside setting give the story lasting charm.

“Which he intended to pop on the top of Peter“

This story teaches readers the lesson of the consequences associated with our actions.

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.

“Don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.“ - Beatrix Potter

My late grandmother collected all of the Beatrix Potter books, and we have them at my house! They are so beautiful and have such comforting images.

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.

Mum's choices:

2) Mrs Rabbit (Peter Rabbit's mum) ["a survivor: husband eaten, delinquent son... just carries on. I can admire that."]
3) Joyce (Thursday Murder Club)

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.

Oh gosh, this is so depressing.

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.

“Your father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs.McGregor”

#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 ⬇️

“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.

Vi consiglio questo libro perché è molto bello

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.

Love Beatrix Potter‘s illustrations.

Day 28: #favorite
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.

I went to Hill Top yesterday where Beatrix Potter lived. Everything has been preserved and left as it was when she lived there. Such a beautiful place.

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 🐰😰

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” 💖🐇💐
