This is a very short book of verse. The rhymes were quite sweet. The illustrations were lovely!

I guess I read this because I was bored and needed to help along my challenge. It was pleasant.

Ilustrasinya lucu dan aku pikir bagus untuk anak belajar bahasa Inggris karena rimanya bisa membantu anak cepat ingat kosa kata yang difitur. Tapi tiap halaman kurang berkesinambungan dan kebanyakan babinya (yang kurang lucu karena aku lebih suka yang berbulu), jadi ga beli

Number 23 and I am done. Sadly the final two books in the Peter Rabbit Collection were a little dull: plain rhymes that were often just well-known nursery rhymes.

But fortunately, I now consider myself a Beatrix Potter fan. I was always led to believe that Beatrix's tales were twee and somewhat pathetic but I am happy to announce that that is definitely not the case. They are cute, yes, and sometimes a little twee of course (animals on their hindlegs in clothes cannot be anything but twee), but they are so much more.

They are the culmination of a women's life long love with nature and her wonderful imagination. She does not shy from the darker side of nature and believes everyone-including children-should know of this and embrace it, not ignore it. Sometimes this shocked me a little, but only because it came so out of the blue.

The main thing of course are the illustrations and one cannot deny that Beatrix is an accomplished watercolour artist and sketcher. Her tales would be almost nothing without them and that is no bad thing to say. She was an illustrator who wrote little stories to accompany her drawings and, although her longer stories were in my opinion so much better than the shorter ones, it is still the pictures that will forever be ingrained upon my memory. A dog in knickerbockers is no small thing to forget.
