pickAs a little girl I adored all things Beatrix Potter and I introduced my boys to Peter and another generation fell in love! This was a very well put together biography...one that I feel kids and adults alike will enjoy!
Happy Gotcha Day to the loveliest of boys. 7 years since Ronnie joined the family. There's not a day that goes by that he doesn't make me smile and my heart melt.

This story teaches readers the lesson of the consequences associated with our actions.
so-soPeter 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.
pickBeatrix 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:
1) Nellie Dean (Wuthering Heights) ["keeps her head despite everyone around her being a complete nutjob"]
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)
so-soReread of this series continues, alas, this one is slightly horrifying, which takes away from the charm. Obviously taunting/rudeness to one's elders and not bringing a gift for a host are emphatically discouraged, but the whole tail dismemberment and mention of possible skinning are a bridge too far for a children's book in my eyes. 😬 Pity, because there are some lovely illustrations of squirrels and harvest season.
