The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan (Peter Rabbit)

When a little dog named Duchess gets an invitation to tea at the home of Ribby the cat, she becomes dreadfully afraid that Ribby is going to serve her mouse pie. Duchess has a delightful veal and ham pie, and comes up with a very clever plan to substitute her own pie for Ribby's. But, when she can't Ribby's pie, things begin to go from bad to worse. This cute little book is another great example of Beatrix Potter's (1866-1943) work. The story is simple and yet fun, and the watercolor illustrations (also by Ms. Potter) are excellent. Overall, I found this to be a wonderful story, one that I enjoy reading to my little one. We both highly recommend this book!

I absoulutly love this story! When I was really little, Beatrix Potter was one of my favorite authors, and still is. Her stories are so sweet fo little children, especially this one. This is one of my personal favorites, and I believe that you will agree when you're done with this childhood classic. Her illustrations are so cute and well done and colorful! Her whole series of books about animals are all tied together. They all know each other and are all friends. This is a great story for children, especially ones with appreciation of animals.
