Reviews
Gr 3 Up—In 1866, a truly remarkable woman was born. Scientifically inclined and always curious, the observant Potter grew up to become a woman ahead of her time. In this tribute to Potter and her memorable characters, 32 contemporary illustrators share anecdotes about their experiences with Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Squirrel Nutkin, and many other denizens of Potter's enchanted world. E.B. Lewis (The Other Side) observes that Potter's characters are "simple, beautiful, and full of life." Betsy Lewin (Click, Clack, Moo) discusses her interest in the writer, noting that Potter "was a shining example of a woman making a place for herself as an artist and author." In addition to recounting personal encounters with Potter's work, each artist reimagines her world in original artwork. How delightful to see Peter Rabbit, Mr. McGregor, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and company portrayed in various and unique styles. Excerpts from and introductory descriptions of nine of Potter's books round out this superb collection. VERDICT This 150th anniversary celebration of the life and work of Beatrix Potter will encourage aspiring young artists to carry on her legacy and is recommended for public and school libraries.—Linda L. Walkins, Saint Joseph Preparatory High School, Boston
