The adventures of Peter Rabbit are told here in a lively rebus version which makes learning to read fun. Young children can lift the picture flaps scattered in the story to find the missing words printed underneath. A pop-up on the last page brings a final surprise.
Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.
A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
