I chose The Tales of Peter Rabbit, because it's one of the first books I remember as a child, I also love the illustrations by the author. This is also a classic Victorian Children's book based on how a child should behave and not get into trouble. This book would be a great way to include in curriculum for teaching procedures, following directions, staying out of trouble. Beatrix Potter was also one of the few successful woman author and illustrators during Victorian children's literature, which is considered the golden age of illustration for children's books.

Another one of those mischievous children's book characters that I just did not understand as a child. However, I loved the pictures and the story stuck with me, so it must have had some redeeming qualities.

Back at my parents’ I own the actual series of Peter Rabbit books. But for my little one, purchased as last year’s Easter gift when he wasn’t even two months old, this is a good abridged version of the story. He likes the pictures and it’s still reminiscent of the full tale.
I honestly can't remember if I read this as I child, but now I'm so glad that I for sure read it as an adult! Beatrix Potter's story and illustrations go so well together, and this is a delightful little romp, even with how didactic it is. It's tiny, and cute, and perfect for small hands! This story evokes such nostalgia despite not remember whether I read it or not, but hey, all kids love Peter Rabbit regardless, right? This was just the break I needed from all the overbearing texts I've been reading lately.
