Beatrix Potter and Her Paint Box

(3) K-3 The picture book biography focuses on Beatrix Potter's childhood and young adulthood, ending when she creates The Tale of Peter Rabbit. McPhail's soft watercolor and ink illustrations and clear text give a sense of Potter's love of animals and her growing interest in painting. The narrative of a young child finding her passion should satisfy both Potter's fans and the uninitiated.
