Book Review: The Tale of Benjamin Bunny
Rating: 
This is probably the second best-known of Beatrix Potter’s wonderful rabbit stories. In this one, naughty Peter Rabbit and his cousin Benjamin again sneak into Mr. MacGregor’s garden and get themselves into dangerous trouble with the cat. They are rescued by Benjamin’s father. Beautifully illustrated, this classic story has been loved for good reason. The cat is dangerous, the bunnies foolish and lovable, the father heroic and brave, and the warm home scene allows the reader a sigh of relief at the end.
An audio recording of this story is available for free download at librivox.org.

Quote of the Hour
I have thrown away books that are morally objectionable. These are not books that simply do not appeal to me, these are books that say untrue things about the way God created us… It is not a crime to kill a poisonous book.
