The Beatrix Potter series is always a good place to start. Also, Dr. Seuss and A. A. Milne.
so-soI appreciate the charming images and the insights into rural life of over a century in the past (Potter herself had a farm), but it comes with the occasional brutal honesty of the relationship between predator and prey, and between domesticated animals and humans raising them for food. Fellow vegans beware! This collection offers insights the individual books don't: failing eye sight vs earlier exquisite art, which tales Potter favoured. 1/2
"...their end was bacon." ?!???
Well that was abrupt.
Hope the kiddies weren't too attached to Miss Dorcas and Miss Porcas?! ?
Alas, that I cannot be a little round mouse in a country burrow. 😞
This is the first thing that came to mind - I ❤️ these stories!

pickI have been enjoying looking over these stories I told my kids when they were little. Including a few I has never heard of. We have been busy with spring preparation in the garden this week so not a lot of time to sit and immerse myself in a book. But it‘s been nice to get things started outside.
Next up on my book lost is this, he‘s a children‘s collection but I‘m going to take a walk back, not to my own child hood as I don‘t remember these stories from then, but to my children‘s childhoods when I would read them Beatrix potter books a lot.
@jenniferw88 thank you for your beautiful card it made me silly smile then get excited to write a reply. Your reply is in the post 📫
The thought came into my head about Beatrix Potter when I saw the card/ lake district.

so-soWhile I loved the illustrations, I was quite disappointed with the stories.
Made Nutella for the first time today while listening to the tales of Beatrix Potter. I found a video on youtube with a recipe. And I have to say it tastes amazing! Yum!
pickThe kids and I took a road trip to the family farm in Northern California. We listened to The Complete Tales of Beatrix Potter on the way. I had forgotten how fantastic these stories were!!
One of my most cherished childhood books. A beautiful edition of Beatrix Potter's Complete Tales! I remember Benjamin Bunny and Peter Rabbit were my favorites 😍
Good luck to all of you participating in the @24in48 readathon! Happy reading 📚📚
On this very cold, frigid winter day i need a hug. One of the best hug in book form are the tales Of Beatrix Potter. #survivingdecember
I think it‘s time I read this tome from cover to cover! #CurrentlyReading #kidlit #classics #picturebooks
pickWell-read in this audiobook version. Cute voice variations for the animals. I‘m not a big animal person but I really enjoy that these are moral stories in which the good animals/people are rewarded for their goodness and naughty animals receive just consequences for their actions. Makes me feel like all is right in the world when I hear the stories.
Found this set in good condition for EIGHT DOLLARS at goodwill 🎉 my seven year old is loving it!
pickRead out loud to my daughter, who LOVES Jeremy Fisher. Not quite as charming as Winnie the Pooh, but still enchanting. It's enough just to look at the illustrations. Some of the stories seemed rather silly to me, but Potter's voice was still clever and enjoyable. A childhood classic for good reason.
#currentlyreading It's 2:45am and I am feeling a little better. It's cooler tonight which is good for allergies. This is part of my #libraryhaul from yesterday. Our little library is acquiring more and more cool books! 🐇🐇❤️❤️📚📚
Can't talk about #titlewithapropername and not talk about this one❤ #readjanuary
haven't read this book for ages. throught it'd be nice to read a bit of it every day.
My #favplacetorelax is probably in my son's nursery, sitting in the rocker reading to him at bedtime. I received this cozy lamp from my grandmother and something about it transports me from muggy, scorching Florida to somewhere I need a blanket and cup of hot cocoa. ☺️ #Augustofbooks #augustphotochallenge
