“It is so fun to read from the collection of Beatrix Potter. Her illustrations are darling and her stories clever and intriguing. The language used and the manner in which Duchess and Ribby address each other makes this a great read. This story drew me in as I wanted to find out what that little mischievous Duchess was really going to do. It might save us a bit of trouble not to worry about getting everything we like and being willing to try something new?”
