Hop! Peter Rabbit: Trace the Trail on Every Page! (Peter Rabbit Seedlings) - Hardcover

Very young children who are just about to fall in love with Beatrix Potter's original stories of Peter Rabbit and his friends (The Tale of Peter Rabbit, etc.) will enjoy this 12-page board book introduction to the mischievous bunny and his friends, based on Potter's classics. Readers can trace a shiny raised trail on every page, following Peter as he bounds across a blue background ("lippity, lippity, hop! hop! hop!"), a snail leaving a slippery trail, or a mouse scampering to and fro. The "surprise ending" includes a fluffy wisp of a tail as our hoppity hero says goodbye. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
