Beatrix Potter's illustrations are extremely cute as most of the main characters are animals. My favorite illustrations were of the mice cracking cherry stones as they look extremely realistic yet cute at the same time as they huddled up next to each other and looked so adorable eating the cherry stones. I would recommend this book to children ages three and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book. Review is also on: Rabbit Ears Book Blog View all 7 comments.

When Peter explains, Benjamin informs him that Mr McGregor is out for the day - very subtle way of suggesting they go retrieve the clothes! So off they go, despite the fact that poor Peter is poorly and now terrified of that garden! And then of course they have adventures, despite Mr McGregor being out for the day!

I won't give away any spoilers but will mention that, gosh, Benjamin Bunny's dad is quite a fierce character - nowhere near as lenient as Peter Rabbit's mother! Feb 02, Nick rated it really liked it Shelves: Cute continuation of the Tale of Peter Rabbit.
