What is there not to love about a tale of Beatrix Potter? This latest tale of Potter's early life is simply wonderful! Deborah Hopkinson delivers a tale that was found in one of Potter's journal entries. It is the story of young Beatrix wanting to draw a guinea pig - so she borrows one from her neighbor to use as a model and alas, the little guinea pig eats the paper, some string and more that is left lying on the desk and when Beatrix finds the model guinea pig dead, she knows she has trouble ahead!
Truly a tale to relish with a young one on your lap. The illustrations are the icing on the cake. One can only hope they find more stories in Potter's journals - what a wonderful life!
