review 1: This was a darling Christmas picture book, and we were delighted to discover that our copy came with an audio recording of Emma Thompson reading her story in her enchanting British accent. In the style of the timeless Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, Emma Thompson has written an endearing tale about Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny who work together to save William, the Christmas turkey. Great start to our 24 days of Christmas stories! I got our copy through the library.
review 2: This is beautifully illustrated and written in a style faithful to Beatrix Potter, as was Thompson's first. This second story is set just before Christmas, when Peter and Benjamin happen upon William the turkey who proudly declares that the McGregor's are 'having him for dinner'... C... morean they save the proud bird from his fate?I read this as an adult, to become familiar with the story, but was struck that this could be awkward for some parents reading it to their children, having to talk about the fact (nevertheless true) that some animals are killed for us to then eat. It's a lighthearted story but one to ponder on before reading with your child - are you ready for that discussion? less
