This month's Children's Classics topic at 5 Minutes for Books is Beatrix Potter.
Last year I brought home several books by Miss Potter and thoroughly enjoyed reading them with my children. I found the animal characters engaging and the illustrations appealing to my children's imaginations. My favorite part of her stories is that naughty behavior isn't condoned!This year I hope to make Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny and Squirrel Nutkin permanent residents of our home. But, until then, we will periodically check them out from the library.
Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the library in time for this challenge. So I did what any good mom of the 21st Century does - I googled Beatrix Potter.
In my search I found two interesting websites I thought I would share with you:
- The World of Peter Rabbit - the official site for Peter and his friends. There are children's games to play, info on the author, and downloadable coloring pages.
- YouTube - I'm not embedding a video because there are too many to choose from! Go, search and enjoy!!
If you are interested in reading more about Beatrix Potter and her books be sure to check out the Children's Classics carnival at 5 Minutes for Books.

Oh! THanks for the Youtube idea! Hadn't thought of doing that for Potter. Awesome!
We love love our big compilation book - my girls love toting it around and that we can pick up where we left off. However, I do think the little books are adorable and fit small hands so much better. Too bad it's not really practical to keep both around. :)
