Show & Tell Friday ..Beatrix Potter


Welcome !! 'Tis Friday again and a wonderful Show & Tell hosted by There Is No Place Like Home.



Today I am showing our Beatrix Potter Book Collection. There is so much out there.. so we have kept it to a minimal. We have the complete Tales and enjoyed every bit of it.


Beatrix Potter has a whimsical characters that are sure to tickle any ones fancy. Her art work is delightful throughout A Victorian Naturalist. I have also enjoyed reading about her life, in The Magic Years Of Beatrix Potter.



And yet another delightful interactive book, Beatrix Potters Journal, is filled with colorful art work from her journal, along with photos.

We also enjoy watching the darling DVD's... These are very sweet and well done..capturing Beatrix Potters critters.


My daughters favorite is this huge Pop-Up Cottage of Beatrix Potters, which came with all the little characters from her stories... My little girl plays out the stories for hours.





And lastly.. my favorite !!! The Miss Potter Movie... Oh if you have not yet seen this.. see it !! It is so sweet !!! I just love to watch this over and over. It is truly a magical story. Even the guy's liked it !!!


Thank You for stopping by this week !! See you next Friday !!!

  2. I love Beatrix Potter! I have the complete tales and the journal, and a couple of tea cups and saucers that are Peter Rabbit. I also have all of the characters as Hallmark ornaments!

    The movie is so good! I keep that in my sewing room and play it on my dvd all the time.

    Blessings

  5. I only met Beatrix when I found a little book for Ethan. We like her lots and lots.
    You have a neat collection. To hear your daughter enact the stories is good to hear. Is it not too lovley how they remember everything in the story. Sometimes even more than I did at first.

  8. What a wonderful collection. I shall have to watch the movie. Is it out on DVD or is it a recent movie?

    I plan on reading these stories to my children sometime. I wish I could find my Peter Rabbit book from when I was a little girl. But I cannot find it. :(
