The tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter

The tale of Peter Rabbit will be familiar to all, and readers will recognise the cheeky little rabbit in his blue coat, not only from the book, but from the TV show and the lovely crockery mugs, plates and toys that are available. This edition of the classic story is in a board book format, just right for young children to turn over the pages and marvel at the gorgeous illustrations. The title page features Mrs Rabbit looking after a baby rabbit, tucked up in bed, a most caring expression on her face and sets the scene for the rest of the story. Then follows the escapades of naughty Peter who creeps into Mr McGregor’s garden looking to steal his vegetables.

The text is the original first written by Beatrix Potter. It reads aloud very well and her lovely illustrations will captivate her young audience.

This board book version is a keeper, perfect as a gift for young children. First printed in 1902, it is a must-have classic that has stood the test of time.

Themes: Rabbits, Classics, Mischief.
