(easy, picture biography) I liked this book from the minute I picked it up. It was so cozy and compact in my hand that I imagine a child would be comfortable with it too. It's a bit sad that Beatrix Potter had such a morose and lonely childhood. That was a fact I did not know. Perhaps the child whose inside world does not match what we think is going on in his/her outward appearances would be able to relate to this book. As much as that might make us uncomfortable to think about, it does happen. You never know what goes on behind closed doors, and there always is that child that never quite fits in. Beatrix was also that child.She also had a gift of taming wild animals and creating fanciful stories about them, perhaps because she was experiencing her missed childhood vicariously through her little animals and her stories. It was valuable how the publishers inserted text from Beatrix's own journals into the story. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

I enjoyed "Beatrix". There are not as many biographies for younger readers. I liked the presentation of the story. I think this book gives a good background to her life. The nature of Potter's life could mean a drab and boring book, but this one was the opposite. The language is fitting for young readers: simple and light, with a few new words. I also enjoyed the artwork included. The illustrations are different, very linear, and often bright. It is a fun and new approach to illustrations. A good introduction for young readers to non-fiction and biographies. ( )
