About the author
Beatrix Potter
3,252 books2,163 followersHelen Beatrix Potter was an English author, illustrator, mycologist, and conservationist who is best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.
Born into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology.
In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Warne died before the wedding.
Potter eventually published 24 children's books, the most recent being The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots (2016), and having become financially independent of her parents, was able to buy a farm in the Lake District, which she extended with other purchases over time.
In her forties, she married a local solicitor, William Heelis. She became a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to write and illustrate children's books. Potter died in 1943 and left almost all of her property to The National Trust in order to preserve the beauty of the Lake District as she had known it, protecting it from developers.
Potter's books continue to sell well throughout the world, in multiple languages. Her stories have been retold in various formats, including a ballet, films, and in animation.

A retelling of the original 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit'.
Peter leaves his sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail, picking blackberries for tea and goes on the rampage in Mr McGregor's garden, eating all and sundry. Mr McGregor spots him and chases him; Peter loses his shoes and his blue coat, which Mr McGregor makes into a scarecrow, as he tries to escape.
He hides in a watering can but he eventually escapes by the skin of his teeth and on his return home he is met by his mother who puts him to bed to recover from the aching stomach that has developed through his greediness. His sisters meanwhile enjoy their blackberry pie!
The best to say about the book is 'Charming'.

Who doesn’t like reading a story about Peter rabbit.
Peter is always getting up to mischief, and loves his radishes.
The illustrations are lovely, the expression on peters face when he’s in the water can is so believable, but luckily Mr. McGregor misses him again.
Mrs Rabbit does what any mother would do in that situation (even though it hurts), sometimes we have to be punished if we’ve done something wrong. It’s hard, but it’s how we learn.
Lovely story with hidden lessons learnt.

As the title suggests this book is about a naughty little rabbit who always gets in trouble. Unlike his well behaved sisters, this rabbit cannot help himself, and gets up to mischief despite his mother's warnings! You may have guessed, the rabbit in question is none other, than Peter Rabbit.
This book is a re-telling of the better known "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." The central theme of the story explores the consequences Peter faces because he chooses to ignore his mothers instructions. Peter heads straight for Mr McGregor's garden and well stocked allotment despite his mother's warning. There is a distinct moral to this story as Peter ends up worse for wear. Therefore it could be a great book to use in PSHE. There is also lots of information about gardens and food and could be used as a great stimulus for learning about healthy eating.
The book could also be used in a variety of ways, in literacy lessons, preferably in year 1 or 2. It could be used to support story writing as its structure can be adapted to fit easily into a writing frame. The class could then draw on their composition skills to develop different parts of the story. It is also a really good resource to reinforce punctuation and how and when to use speech marks.
It is a good book to use as a class reader in year 1 but would lend itself better in year 2, in a class situation, where children may need to dip into books for reference or support.

Cute read for my 6-yr old, although he could read it himself, it was lovely to have an innocent story of a naughty rabbit in a smart little blue coat!
