61 posts | 140 read | 5 to read
Peter Rabbit and his family live just outside Mr. McGregor's farm. Peter's always hungry. Even though his mother has warned him never to go to the farm, Peter decides to slip in anyways and eat the delicious vegetables he sees growing there. Mr. McGregor spies the thief and starts up a wild chase. Will roly-poly Peter be able to get away? This unabridged version of Beatrix Potter's childhood classic is taken from the 1902 edition published in the UK, with original illustrations by the author.

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.

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.

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! 2y
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 🤍 2y

“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.

#CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2019

A surprising thing happened reading this book to my kids I read with this month. They liked it because it wasn‘t “happy” not everything gets better or is good and life is hard for the Rabbit like me. 😭😭😭😭 This opened way more dialog than I intended however it touched the children‘s hearts and they felt a kinship. It was beautiful.

What were your thoughts if you read it too????

Grateful I did this🐰

Lmstraubie It's always interesting to reread a childhood book as an adult. 5y

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. 5y
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. 😊 5y

We saw Peter Rabbit and it was totally dumb and only vaguely had anything to do with the book, but whatever! I liked it! It was silly and cute. I went in with low expectations and didn‘t feel a need to be a purist. Anyone else see it?
