This review is from: The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck (Potter) (Board book)
Meet Jemima Puddle-Duck. A happy duck with one wish: to lay, nest and hatch her own eggs. A wish that is denied to her, based on where she resides. So, she sets out on a quest to find a secretive, safe place to make a nest for her eggs. A bit of a simpleton, Jemima befriends an eagerly friendly fox who offers her a place to lay her eggs. Won over by the fox's false sincerity, Jemima accepts the fox's offer. If you haven't guessed it already, the fox desires to eat Jemima's eggs. I don't wish to spoil the ending, but it is a happy one.
We always tell our kids not to talk to strangers. This book definitely reinforces that concept. Luckily for Jemima, her friends came to her rescue in the end. I like children's stories that are both captivating, and also teach a moral. This book does just that. Darien Summers, author of The Mischievous Hare, a children's book. The Mischievous Hare
