Product Description

Synopsis
Beatrix Potter used her own two pet mice, Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca, as models for the principal characters in this classic story. The doll's house belonged to a little girl she knew but that story of what happens when two mischievous mice invade an elegant doll's house is entirely imaginary.

Some of the Best Stories for Younger Children, 14 May 2007

By	J. Chippindale (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews

The Tale of Peter Rabbit was written in 1900 and has stood the test of time very well. Generations of children have loved the story of Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Tom Kitten and Jemima Puddle-Duck among others and treasured the books of Beatrix Potter. It is up there among the greats of children's literature with Wind in the Willows, The Water Babies, Peter Pan, Treasure Island and many others.

In these days of computer games and electronic toys of one kind or another, books sadly are sometimes not as high on the list as they were a few years ago, perhaps that is why literacy in schools is not all that it could be. Personally as a child books were always my first love and Christmas would not have been the same without a Rupert annual.

Stories that involve animals as the main characters in books always seem to fascinate young children and Peter Rabbit has always been up there with the best. Next time you have to buy a present for a child, or even want to treat one of your younger grandchildren for no particular reason. Instead of looking for the latest DVD why not buy them a book. Peter Rabbit is a good one to start with.
