I really love the characters and there are quite a lot compared to some of Bellatrix Potter’s other books.

Everything including the ending and the paintings were amazing and this really deserves the 5 stars. I particularly enjoyed the drawings I this story.

I did not much like the ducks, but guess Jemima paid back for that attitude in a this book. These are great books every kids should read or have read to them at least once.

Awwwn. This was so fun to read. I missed reading children's books and picked this one off the library shelf as I thought Jemima Puddle-duck looked really dashing and ladylike in her bonnet and all her 'duckery '. Might start rereading a lot of children's books now. Ah, the nostalgia.
