(3) K-3 When young Noel Moore becomes sick while his friend Miss Potter is away on holiday, she writes him an illustrated letter--the story that will eventually become The Tale of Peter Rabbit. In this book based on actual events, text and illustrations remain true to the known facts, using watercolor with pen outlines to depict subtly colored but lively scenes reminiscent of the period.
