The pond is sparkling in the sunshine and Peter wants to build a raft – all by himself. He soon finds it’s quite tricky without some help. Luckily his sisters are there to lend him a hand.

This charming summer tale has a reassuring message about learning to ask for help. Eleanor Taylor’s humorousillustrations of Beatrix Potter’s well-loved characters mirror young children’s early experiences.

So begins Beatrix Potter’s retelling of Red Riding Hood. Filled with the delicious darkness of the original classic fairy tale – and some trademark Potter wit and flourishes – this book is brilliantly brought to life with artwork by one of the world’s greatest illustrators, Helen Oxenbury.
