This is a great book, and I feel honored to have spent so
much time with it. I still feel the
residual magic of reading it as a child as I write this. I loved the pictures and the stories. I have a permanent imprint of Peter Rabbit
stuck in Mr. McGregor’s gooseberry net and the mother rabbit taking care of
Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail in her den.
How could you forget a name like Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle? Little Mrs. Tittlemouse and her tidy house? For a child that loved animals, Beatrix
Potter was where it was at. The smallest
animals had the most elaborate lives and endearing personalities. It is no wonder that I still love hamsters,
gerbils, and rodents as an adult.
I was also lucky that when I was a child I lived across the
way from a woman who wrote plays and brought Potter to the theater. I was best friends with her daughter and so
had the pleasure to revel in the classic animal tales in an all new way.
I am really having a hard time parting with this one. It must go soon lest I change my mind.
