Hop into the world of Peter Rabbit and his friends in this series of charming board books! It’s Peter’s birthday, but he feels sad because nobody in his family wants to play or even see him! It’s turning out to be the worst birthday ever for Peter . . . until he gets a special surprise. This is the third title in a fresh series of very young stories set in Peter Rabbit’s world. The simple tales will deal with the early experiences and emotions of small children, as seen through the eyes of Beatrix Potter’s classic characters.
Beatrix Potter was born on July 28, 1866, at No 2, Bolton Gardens, Kensington, London. She loved nature and drawing as a child. In 1893, Beatrix sat down to write a picture letter to Noel Moore, the five-year-old son of her ex-governess, all about a naughty rabbit called Peter. Noel was ill in bed and so Beatrix wrote to him: “My dear Noel, I don’t know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits….” And that’s how The Tale of Peter Rabbit was created. It wasn’t until 1902 that Frederick Warne published what would become one of the most beloved stories in children’s books.
