Still One of the Best Children's Stories of all Time - By: J. Chippindale, 11 May 2007 
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was writtenin 1900 & has stood the test of time very well. Generations of children have loved the story of Peter Rabbit & Jemima Puddle-Duck among others & treasured the books of Beatrix Potter. It is up there among the greats of children's literature with Windin the Willows, The Water Babies, Peter Pan, Treasure Island & many others.
In these days of computer games & 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 literacyin schools is not all that it could be. Personally as a child books were always my first love & Christmas would not have been the same without a Rupert annual.
Stories that involve animals as the main charactersin books always seem to fascinate young children & 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.
A classic work of children's fiction - By: , 25 Feb 2001 Like all of her series of books, the tale of Jemima Puddleduck is an enchanting story which has lost nothing almost a century since she wrote them. Delightful illustrations serve only to improve on the wonderful text, making this book lovely collector's item, or merely a bed-time story for children of all ages. I would reccommend this wholeheartedly to anyone who had small children, or just liked the visualisations of a woman who is undoubtedly one of the greatest creative writers of the last hundred years.
