    About this ebook

    In Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes, Beatrix Potter's delightful and lifelike illustrations of animals accompany well-known nursery rhymes such as Goosey Goosey Gander, This Little Piggy and Three Blind Mice, themselves rewritten to refer to Potter's own recurring characters. Inspired by Potter's own childhood favorite illustrator Randolph Caldecott, who often depicted nursery rhymes with illustrations of animals, Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes has delighted children and adults alike since its release in 1922.

    Beatrix Potter

    Helen Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English writer, illustrator, scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals. Written as a gift for the son of her former governess, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1901. Its success enabled her to commit to full-time writing and illustrating. Potter wrote about 30 books; the best known being her 24 children's tales.

      This includes a lot of Nursery Rhymes either featuring animals, or featuring animals through the illustrations. They are all beautifully illustrated, of course.
    • 5/5
      We have a little garden,
      A garden of our own,
      And every day we water there
      The seeds that we have sown.

      When the hummers start humming and the jays start squawking, and the woodies start pecking and the raptors start hawking, I take out my little book of Beatrix Potter verses because spring is in full blossom. The 1983 Ariel publication is my favorite because Allen Atkinson did the illustrations with such love, you believe the little baby bunnies on the cover really put on their jammies for bedtime storytelling. Atkinson left us too soon, and I rejoice when I find one of his books.

      We love our little garden,
      And tend it with such care,
      You will not find a faded leaf
      Or blighted blossom there.

      Book Season = Spring (de-weed)
    • 3/5
      Never a bad thing to get another take on classic rhymes I suppose though this one seems a bit characterless. Maybe we're far away enough from the late Victorian era now that Beatrix Potter just doesn't make sense.
