The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (Potter)

The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (Potter)

(6 customer reviews)

To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.

The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.

Another great example of Beatrix Potter's work Apr 02, 2006
By Kurt A. Johnson
When Benjamin Bunny and his children, the "Flopsy Bunnies," go to Mr. McGregor's rubbish heap, they are pleasantly surprised to find it filled with overgrown lettuces. They eat their fill, and then fall asleep. When they are found by Mr. McGregor and put in a bag, Thomasina Tittlemouse comes to their rescue.

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. Now, at one point the bunnies are caught and Mrs. McGregor says, "I shall skin them and cut off their heads." So, if you are afraid of scaring your little one, you might want to simply not read that line.

Overall, I found this to be a wonderful story, one that I enjoy reading to my little one. We both highly recommend this book!

A Good Book About Growing-Up and Responsibility Mar 13, 2010
By Darien Summers "Author of The Mischievous Hare, a children's book"
In this adventure, the iconic Benjamin Bunny has grow up and has married his cousin Flopsy (sister of the famous Peter Rabbit). A little unAmerican, I know, but the story is presented very well with excellent, colorful illustrations. The story begins by showing how Benjamin does everything he can to make sure that his little baby bunny children are fed, even if that means going into the dreaded Mr. McGregor's garden. When tragedy strikes, and the little bunnies go missing, Benjamin and Flopsy do everything they can to find their children.

The tale has a happy ending, and the bad Mr. McGregor gets nothing. I believe that both children and parents will enjoy this tale.
