Beatrix Potter

The last week in class we researched different authors. The author that we had to investigate was Beatrix Potter.

She is born the 28th July on 1866. She lived in Kensington, London. She was an English author, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist best known for her imaginative children’s books featuring animals in which she represented British landscape and country life.

So, like a good illustrator she begun when she was a child, Beatrix Potter was encouraged to draw. She spent many hours making intricate childhood sketches of animals and plants, revealing an early fascination for the natural world which would continue throughout her life.

 Beatrix Potter kept many different kinds of pets such as rabbits, hedgehogs, mice, lizards, newts, frogs, bats and toads. When she wrote and illustrated her Peter Rabbit books, she knew all about the animal characters that she was creating as a result of having watched her own pets and their behaviour.

Her great book was The Tale of Peter Rabbit. It is a British children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased about the garden of Mr. McGregor. He escapes and returns home to his mother who puts him.

Moreover it is so popular because there was a cartoon too about it.

To conclude, in my opinion I think that Beatrix Potter is a good author to use with children because use to points that are near of them. One of them is that she show their tale in little animal like mouse, rabbits, cats… and the other is she use a familiar context to create a special climax nearer. Besides, with her illustrations she show  very well what happen in each moment.
