The Tale of Benjamin Bunny

The tale of Benjamin Bunny was a story I can recall listening and reading when I was younger. I believe it is the illustrations that make the book even better. The pictures looked old fashioned, however there is so much detail included. In a nutshell that story is about Peter's cousin, Benjamin Bunny who persuades him to go back to Mr. McGregors garden to retrieve the clothes he lost there.
 
The book was read from the Ipad therefore the text was easy to read, each time you turned the pages there was always a page for an illustration and a page for the text. The text on each page was not very long yet included many descriptive words which allows the reader to imagine and make the story real.
 
The way Beatrix Potter has written the story allows the reader to become intrigued and wanting to turn the pages following over. I particularly found this not only for the text but to see the illustrations.
 
                                                
 
This book would be ideal for students at the  lower - mid primary school level. It could have different purposes depending on the age group selected. This book would be great to be read after lunch to the class to relax them before beginning lessons.
