A Delightful Classic Children's StoryPeter Rabbit is warned by his mother not to go into the garden of Mr. McGregor, but does Peter Rabbit listen? The illustrations in this book are really top notch, all the way down to all of the various shades of color. My favorite part was when Mr. McGregor just gets tired and stops trying to catch Peter Rabbit. When Bill, my cat, doesn't want his bath, I adopt a similar approach and wait for a day when the stars are better aligned. This could also be why he ...

My youngest daughter picked this out as one of four that she wanted to read. My grandmother, long ago, used to read this and other Beatrix Potter books to me as she tucked me in bed -- a fond memory that probably, along with other things, gave me a lifelong love of reading. My little girl loved it too --- Peter's mischief reminding her of brothers' impulsiveness while Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail reminding her of her and her sisters!

The Tale of Peter Rabbit was one of the first books my mom ever read to me. It has been a comfort read of mine even before I could read it myself. The other day I watched the 2006 movie "Miss Potter", which tells the story of the inspiring artist and author who gave the world Peter Rabbit and many other animal friends! The film was enchanting and simply perfect! It had a stunning soundtrack, iconic artwork, books, romance, friendship, nature and the English countryside! What more could I ask for...

Are you a native speaker of Spanish? Would you like to make some Australian kids happy? Do you have an hour to spare?A friend of ours is a teacher at a school in an isolated part of Australia. She's trying to teach her kids Spanish, they are enthusiastic, but she is really short of engaging reading material. I told her about our LARA project, and she said that if I could put together a LARA edition of Peter Rabbit in Spanish she's sure her class would love it.I spent a couple of hours messing ar...

Peter Rabbit breaks the social contract by eating his neighbor’s vegetables. As Peter is hounded for his crimes, he rapidly loses the trappings of society - his shoes and his clothes - until he’s returned to his primal animal state, naked, shivering, driven out, an anthropomorphized JG Ballard. He can’t find the gate that will lead him from the garden of sin back to his safe home. After he finally escapes, he’s ostracized by his family and hung in effigy in the garden as a warning. Beatrix Potte...

"Once upon a time there was four litter Rabbits, and their names were - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter." Old Mrs. Rabbit has to run a few errands and has to leave her children home, alone, for a few hours. Before she goes, she makes sure to clearly tell them: "...you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden." And so the girls, being good little girls, listen to their mother and go to pick blackberries for the family.Peter...on the other hand... "....

The tale of Peter Rabbit, is the first book in this beloved series, written by Beatrix Potter. This children's series will never get old with me. I remember my parents reading them to me as a child, and I loved looking at the delightful illustrations as they read them to me. This particular book, is probably the most famous of all, as we all know about and love that mischievous little rabbit! I also appreciate that there is an important moral to be learned, too. I think the attention to detail i...

This story reminds me my childhood. I still remember I used to do things from which my mama forbades me. Just like Peter rabbit. Her mother tells him not to go to Mr. McGregor's farm. But as he is a naughty rabbit, He still goes and faces troubles.

I liked the names of four rabbits:
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. Aren't they cute? Especially first two. (^_^)

All of the Beatrix Potter stories are wonderful but this little one of this mischievous little rabbit who is naughty! So cute, and a great introduction to the beautiful world that Potter created. I think that this may be my favourite one actually. And naturally, my kids LOVED it when they were younger.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit is the first in a series of delightful children's books by Beatrix Potter. There are twenty-three of these “little Tales” about woodland animals (who are, of course, little people in disguise, as they wear clothes and behave exactly as their human counterparts would). This first tale about a mischievous little rabbit called Peter, is perhaps the most famous of all. Unlike some of the others, it does not seem to have dated much at all. Most children today will recognise a...
