Re: Peter Rabbit

When I was a LMS in an elementary school I did a unit on Peter
Rabbit/Beatrix Potter each spring.  The stories are good to compare and
contrast--even the littlest kids can identify with Peter and Tom Kitten
getting into trouble!  There are some good video adaptations out there of
the stories--I find them at SAM'S every now and then.  Now that I'm a LMS
in a High School Career Center I plan to work with the Child Development
class to have a "Peter Rabbit Tea Party"---carrots, etc.  (Plus the
teacher of the class has a child-size china tea set that she bought in
England!)  For older kids you could study Beatrix Potter as an
author--she wrote other things besides the children's stories.  She was
quite the environmentalist in her day!  Videos produced by:  Goodtimes

(I have started collecting Beatrix Potter "stuff"---it's amazing what is
out there once you start looking---have yet to find anything really old
though...)
