Peter Rabbit Animation Treehouse

Peter Rabbit Animation

by Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter's timeless character Peter Rabbit comes to life in a brand new series based on the well-loved children's books. Mischievous, charming and brave, Peter is a hero who overcomes obstacles, outwits predators and dodges danger on his exciting adventures. Featuring imagery in soft pastel hues and set amidst the sweeping landscapes of the Lake District, Treehouse Rescue! sees Peter and his friends embark on a brave and dangerous quest for a secret clubhouse to escape the clutches of the hungry fox, Mr Tod. To help him on his adventures, Peter is never without his cousin Benjamin Bunny and their good friend Lily Bobtail. Lots of their friends (and enemies) will be familiar to lovers of Beatrix Potter's timeless animal tales, such as bonkers Squirrel Nutkin, kindly Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and the scary farmer, Mr McGregor. Peter Rabbit is a character that children will be able to relate to. To him, like them, friendship is paramount and he is never far away from fun, mischief and adventure. There are so many extras in here. We've borrowed Peter's secret notebook, and put his sketch of Nutkin's crazy squirrel camp in the book too. It's a great picture, and will take the reader right to the heart of the story. There's also a map showing where everyone lives, and a chance to get to know the characters too.

About the author

Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author, illustrator, mycologist, and conservationist who is best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.

Born into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology.

In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Warne died before the wedding.

Potter eventually published 24 children's books, the most recent being The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots (2016), and having become financially independent of her parents, was able to buy a farm in the Lake District, which she extended with other purchases over time.

In her forties, she married a local solicitor, William Heelis. She became a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to write and illustrate children's books. Potter died in 1943 and left almost all of her property to The National Trust in order to preserve the beauty of the Lake District as she had known it, protecting it from developers.

Potter's books continue to sell well throughout the world, in multiple languages. Her stories have been retold in various formats, including a ballet, films, and in animation.

[Tapani Aulu · Rating 2 out of 5]

Petteri Kaniini ja muut kanit haluavat turvaan oravien luo puun latvaan. Ei kyllä toimi kirjoina kovinkaan häävisti.

[Jules · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice pictures and okay story.

[Jenna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Uuteen Petteri Kaniini -animaatioon perustuva kirja, myötäilee pitkälti tv-sarjan juonta. Ei ehkä parhaita uudelleenkerrontoja.
