The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies


Beatrix Potter. 1909. Frederick Warne

We love this book. It's perfect for children without being too simple. There is drama, adventure and proper characters. The illustrations are beautiful and the size is just right for little hands to hold. 

What a great start to the story:
It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is "soporific".
I have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then I am not a rabbit.
