Peter Rabbit is 110 years old

James and Peter Rabbit having a special moment
Peter Rabbit and the Storyteller
I have started to read James a Peter Rabbit story before he goes to be which he is really enjoying. We happened to be in town today and the local bookshop Waterstones was having a special day celebrating Peter Rabbit's Birthday. A professional storyteller read Peter Rabbit and then there was a chance to say Hello to Peter Rabbit. Both James and Hannah loved this. After a while Peter Rabbit had to leave. Hannah said Peter Rabbit had to go because he had a tummy ache from eating too many carrots and radishes! James said he had to go back to his mother in the burrow! It was a lovely surprise and a lovely memory.
A really special cuddle - I think she is in love!

James not so sure about what Peter Rabbit is going to do next!
What a lovely moment to have while we are reading the stories of Beatrix Potter!

  1. Before you arrived, Hannah kept tiptoeing towards Peter Rabbit, waving and then running back to me with a shy little giggle, but because his head was so big, Peter didn't notice. After several attempts, the lady stopped the story in sympathy towards Hannah and said to Peter "there's a little girl over there who is DESPERATE to get your attention, would you mind giving her a little wave?". Of course, this delighted her!

    This will be a lovely memory to look back on x
