Different version of Peter Rabbit, variants in art, assuming I've got both versions correctly compared to Goodreads. ( ) This is a collection of all the stories about Peter Rabbit and his curious cousin who find themselves in various situations that they shouldn't be in when they choose to disobey their parents and go into Mr. McGregor's garden patch. This is book that talks about how it is best to follow the directions of adults because they usually have your best interest in mind. Being too curious and mischievous can be dangerous. Potter uses concise language and precise details to charm her audience with a tale of a naughty bunny. Although he disobeys his mother, readers love Peter and root for him to get away from Mr. McGregor. Beatrix Potter’s illustrations are beautifully rendered. This was self-published before deemed worthy of publishing for children. Generations recognize the story and the pictures. This book has a total of four different tales. I read the Peter Rabbit tale. Peter is told by his mother to stay out of Mr. McGregor's garden because Peter's father was captured there. Peter doesn't listen and ends up going to the garden and having to hide from Mr. McGregor. While running from Mr. McGregor, he gets lost and fears that he will never make it back home. He finally does but he ends up losing his new jacket and his shoes. This is a good book to use to teach children that they should obey their parents and other adults because sometimes they do know what is best for them. no reviews | add a review
