Peter Rabbit 123: A Counting Book

Beatrix Potter. Warne, $8.99 (20p) ISBN 978-0-241-35477-3

Peter Rabbit and other Potter characters are featured in this counting board book. Peter, mice, kittens, squirrels, and ducklings, among others, are pictured in the illustration style of the classic stories, set against soft, cream-colored pages with citrus, pink, and blue shades. “Three naughty kittens having so much fun,/ four cozy bunnies sleeping in the sun.” On another spread, six squirrels collect nuts in the winding arms of an orange-hued tree, and Mother Goose, dressed in a blue bonnet and pink shawl, watches over her ducklings: “Nine little ducklings are their mother’s delight.” A welcoming introduction to vintage Peter Rabbit. Ages 2–5. [em](Jan.) [/em]
