      This is a good example of fantasy because there is a conflict between good and evil and the events could never happen in the real world. The setting of this book is specific, but could happen at any time in several different places. There must be a garden with a woods nearby, but this could be anywhere.
    • 4/5
      A classic and charming children's tale.
    • 4/5
      This book is a good example of a folk or fairy tale book because the story of Peter Rabbit has been around for a long time, being told in many different variations.

      A cute story that is a timeless classic, complemented by beautiful, simple pictures.
    • 5/5
      The Tale of Peter Rabbit is not the second best-selling children’s book of all time for no reason! Beatrix Potters’ tour de force story of a naughty little rabbit has captured the imagination of generations of readers. Potter’s exquisite illustrations breath life into characters that leap off the pages into the mind’s eye. Potter animates the voices of Mrs. Rabbit, Peter, and Mr. McGregor with her adroit prose, and her gentle humor reassures the reader that no harm will come to Peter. What is more, Peter Rabbit has entered the literary canon as the quintessential bunny character. Truly this little book and its cousins are classic treasures to be savored again and again.
    • 4/5
      The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a story about four little rabbits who lived with their Mother. Mother left the children to go to the baker's and told them not to get into mischief, and especially don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Peter Rabbit's siblings went down the lane to gather blackberries, but Peter went straight for Mr. McGregor's garden. He ate lettuce, french beans, radishes and when he was looking for some parsley, he ran into Mr. McGregor! Mr. McGregor chased Peter and Peter got trapped in gooseberry net. Some friendly sparrows helped Peter out of the net and he wandered around the garden trying to find his way out. Peter eventually found his way out and ran all the way home without looking back, but he had lost all of his clothes.This story shows that there can be consequences to your actions and that you should follow the rules. Each student could re-create their favorite scene from this book by drawing it out and write one sentence explaining why they chose that scene.

      Summary- Peter Rabbit, being the honoree bunny he is, does not listen to his mothers warning about keeping away from Mr. McGregor’s garden. Peter goes into the garden to get so berries for him and three siblings. While in the garden, Mr. McGregor finds Peter. Peter finds himself in a lot of danger, while he tries to escape from the angry Mr. McGregor. Peter end up escaping but lost his clothing on the way. He returns home feeling very sick. His sibling and mother get to snack on the nice treat he risked so much to get. Personal Reaction - I really like this book. It is a cute story for kids and it teaches kids a lesson about listening to their parents. The main lesson of this book is about the consequences of dissections. The books good, but the lesion it teaches is the best part.Classroom Extensions 1.“Mr. McGregor’s Garden” Have the student assist you in making a classroom garden. Plant things such radishes, peas, and other thing you would typically find in the garden. Have a daily watering chart to have the kids get involved with the garden2. “ Peter Rabbit and his Family”- Do a small unit over rabbits. Teach about what they eat, where they live, what different kinds of rabbits there are and things along this line. At the end of the unit, ( if you are a loud) bring a live bunny into the classroom.

      A little rabbit who has made his way into the hearts of so many children and adults alike over the years. Delightful.
    • 3/5
      In my opinion this is a good book. The story is about Peter Rabbit, who is very mischievous and breaks the rules that his mother gives. Peter finds himself in trouble and finds many different ways to escape. I liked how the plot of this story was very strong. For instance, there is a clear beginning, middle, and end of the story, including a conflict. The end of the story solves the problem, but a lesson is still learned. At the end, he does get home safely, but he misses out on supper with his siblings. Another thing that I liked about this story was the character of Peter Rabbit. This story shows a character misbehaving and not doing what they were told and in a result they almost deal with consequences that could arise. I think that it is easy for children to relate to Peter Rabbit and the author did a very good job of developing this character into someone that children can read about and believe. Overall, the message of the story is the idea of disobedience. Peter Rabbit does not listen to his mother, which is a lesson for children to learn that “parents know best.” Children can see how breaking the rules can result in many difficult consequences.
    • 5/5
      This represents a Realistic Fiction book because it is convincingly true to life in that rabbits are real. It does not work, though because the rabbits talk in the story. This will help children examine their own lives and relate with the idea of obedience.
    • 3/5
      The Tale of Peter Rabbit is the quintessential cautionary tale, warning children about the grave consequences of misbehaving. This was my first reading of the book and I can't shake the feeling that Peter is really caught by Mr McGregor, and that the second half of the book is a mere dream sequence of being skinned and made into a pie. I don't have any evidence to back me up other than I found the story of Peter's father foreshadowing.
    • 5/5
      This is a really good children book the pictures are beautiful and the story has a good, if somewhat stong, lesson in it. I believe children will love this book.
    • 5/5
      Another classic tale about a little rabbit name peter who learns a lesson the hard way. Certainly a must read!
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this one a lot more than I was expecting to, and so did my little boy. He gasped as he saw Peter sneaking into Mr. McGregor's garden, and looked at me with fright: "But, he'll be made into pie!?" A simple little story, full of action and delight, the pictures so lovely, and just the right length for bedtime reading.
    • 5/5
      The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a fantastic tale of a little rabbit who gets himself into a sticky situation after not listening to his mother. As the story was written years ago in England, the language may feel somewhat unfamiliar to children. However this provides an amazing enrichment opportunity to explore new vocabulary such as currant, implored, wriggled, and fortnight. The illustrations are not only beautifully rendered at “rabbit height”, they help children understand the meaning of the story and imagine it like a movie in their head. Overall, this is a fantastic story that will remain a classic for generations to come. After all, we all need to learn to listen to our parents.

      In this book Peter rabbit lives with his mother and sisters flopsy and mopsy cottontail. The wear clothes and live in a burrow near Mr. McGregor's garden that they are not allowed to go into because that's where their father disappeared. Peter sneaks into the garden and gets caught by Mr. McGregor. As he tried to escape he leaves his jacket and shoes behind which Mr. McGregor uses as a scarecrow in his garden. Peter tried to go back and get his things but becomes ill and his mother takes care of him by giving him tea and never letting him go to the garden again. A very good book for students to learn lessons and read a classic book.

      Summary: Peter Rabbit is a very naughty bunny. He disobeys his mother’s rules and finds himself in a lot of trouble. He sneaks into a garden and tastes lettuce, beans and radishes only to get chased out by the farmer. After running and hiding for his life he makes it back home safely. Unfortunately he has to spend the night in bed sick missing out on dessert. Personal Reaction: This was read to my brother as a child then to me as a child. We have passed it onto our children. I enjoy this book because every child can connect to either the naughty Peter or the always good sisters. I also enjoy the simple classic illustrations that give it a traditional feel.Classroom Extension Ideas: This can be a great introduction to a garden lesson, they can learn about the vegetables grown and the animals that might want to eat them. It would also be a great way to show how rules and policies are there to protect and need to be followed.

      Potter, B. (1902). The tale of Peter Rabbit. New York: Warne. This classic tale by Beatrix Potter recounts the misadventures of Peter, a disobeying little rabbit who gets himself in trouble by going to Mr. McGregor’s garden to eat the delicious veggies found there. However, things do not go well for Peter as he starts getting sick to his stomach, and then almost gets caught by Mr. McGregor. In the end, disobedient Peter has chamomile tea for dinner while his siblings enjoy a good dinner. I especially like the illustrations by Beatrix Potter that face each accompanying section of text. I find them very endearing, and they definitely contribute to the understanding of the story as they feature all the major points in it. As B. Potter wanted it, this book is meant to be held by little hands, hence its small format. It is a unique book as it has endured through more than one century, and is still enjoyed and beloved by children today (along with other B. Potter’s stories).Ages 3 to 8 (will work well as a read-aloud for ages 3-6). Another book written in the same decade (same year, in this case): Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling (1902).

      Not too much to it without the illustrations. The Raggedy Ann stories were better. They stood up well even without the illustrations.

      Queste storie di Beatrix Potter sono piccoli gioielli per la letteratura infantile.
      Il racconto ha un chiaro fine morale: i bambini ubbidienti alla fine hanno dei vantaggi rispetto ai disubbidienti (che se poi uno applica questa morale all'Italia la cosa non torna così bene), però, morale a parte, ci sono le illustrazioni.
      Ecco, questi disegni dell'autrice stessa sono veramente belli e delicati; le illustrazioni fatte dallo stesso autore difficilmente disattendono le mie aspettative, anzi arricchiscono la storia fornendone un ulteriore punto di vista.

      ---

      Beatrix Potter created various extraordinary children stories.
      This story has a clear moral intent: good children in the end are praised for their obedience, while the bad ones does not obtain any advantage from their beahaviour (nevertheless this rule is clearly not true in the Italian case).
      A part from the moral issue, that can be approved or not, there are the illustration made by Beatrix Potter herself.
      The drawings are very beautiful; personally I like a lot when the author draws the pictures for his own book since these illustration improve the book itself providing another point of view.

    • 4/5
      This book is an example of a folktale because it has a moral woven into the ending about misbehaving and the consequences for one's actions. In the story the family of rabbits look like ordinary rabbits but they are given human traits and articles. Peter Rabbit is mischevious and misbehaves and he wears a jacket and shoes. And in real life rabbits do not wear clothing or have human traits.Age Appropriateness: PrimaryMedia: Hand-drawn pictures that are colored using colored pencils
    • 4/5
      Peter Rabbit’s mother told him to stay out of Mr. McGregor’s garden, but Peter runs right in there. He is soon spotted, and has a terrible time getting out. He succeeds, but his naughtiness makes him lose his coat and shoes and get a cold that lands him in bed without supper.
    • 5/5
      Summary:This is a story about a little bunny, who was warned not to go into Mr. McGregor’s garden. However, the little bunny doesn’t listen. Mr. McGregor chases him around his garden until Peter, the rabbit, lost his shoes and his jacket. Peter finally escapes and runs home. That night, Peter was not feeling well, due to his events from the day.Personal Reflections:I love this book. I read it many times when I was a young child and it never gets old. The pictures in the story stand out and help the story seem more realistic. I felt like this story had a deeper meaning of teaching children not to steal and also to listen to our parents/guardians. Classroom Extension Ideas:1. This book is a great way to show children that misbehaving has consequences. 2. This book would also teach children that persistence pays off. If he would have given up, Peter Rabbit would have never made it out of the garden.

      I remember loving this as a child, particularly the cat by the pond. It's still a great 5-minute read when sleep appears elusive.
