so-soReread of this series continues, alas, this one is slightly horrifying, which takes away from the charm. Obviously taunting/rudeness to one's elders and not bringing a gift for a host are emphatically discouraged, but the whole tail dismemberment and mention of possible skinning are a bridge too far for a children's book in my eyes. 😬 Pity, because there are some lovely illustrations of squirrels and harvest season.
Squirrel babies are peaking out now. I make up that the Beatrix Potter stories are taking place in our backyard to grand baby hippie........ We've seen Peter Rabbit, Old Brown owl and Squirrel Nutkin today.......
Thank you Helen for Alfie‘s card and book (love the choice 😂) 😍😍 so thoughtful and kind of you xx
Getting ready for winter! 💖
Helen, thank you so much for the book! Sorry it‘s taken so long to post - it turns out I don‘t have much time to do anything that can‘t be done one-handed glued to a chair 😃. And yes, this is the perfect book! Neely is also very fond of squirrels so he was dead excited.
Perhaps Squirrel Nutkin is a bit too #Playful .
Here‘s the lesson, kids: don‘t be too annoying or you might lose a body part.

My 2 year old loves to collect things for me 🤗
I read another one of Beatrix Potter's beloved tales to my daughter the other night. I can't wait for the day that she can read them back to me.
