Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-06 00:00:00 Ron Broadfoot For my entire life, I have been reading Beatrix Potter's works and I had enjoyed most of the ones I had read! Now, I had picked up an old classic from my childhood, “The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher.” In this tale, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, a distinguished frog, begins having the adventure of a lifetime when he goes out to fish for minnows for his dinner. “The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher” is a delightful tale that every child will enjoy forever! There once lived a frog named Mr. Jeremy Fisher who lived in a little damp house around a pond. One day, Mr. Jeremy Fisher decided to go fishing to catch minnows for his dinner and invite his friends Sir Isaac Newton and Mr. Aldernman Ptolemy Tortoise to dine with him. So Mr. Jeremy Fisher went out to his little boat and tried to capture a minnow, but failed at every try until a large trout came along and... There were many different versions of this cute little tale that I have read, so it was interesting to read the original version of this tale. Beatrix Potter has definitely done an excellent job at both writing and illustrating this wonderful tale of a determined frog's pursuits in catching minnows for his dinner. Beatrix Potter's writing is extremely cute and interesting as Mr. Jeremy Fisher is shown to be an extremely distinguished animal character as he is extremely intelligent as he is always thinking of strategies to catch a minnow for his dinner and he is always determined to catch a minnow no matter how troubling the situation gets. I also loved the creative way that Beatrix Potter uses some name puns on the characters, mainly Mr. Jeremy Fisher's friend Sir Isaac Newton, who is named after the popular figure, Isaac Newton. Beatrix Potter's illustrations are extremely cute and realistic as the backgrounds are magnificently detailed as you can see luscious green pond reeds surrounding Mr. Jeremy Fisher and also the pond water looks extremely beautiful, especially during the scenes where Mr. Jeremy Fisher sails his boat on the water. My favorite images in this book were of Mr. Jeremy Fisher himself as he is brown and small and he clearly looks distinguished with his white coat and black shoes. Parents should know that the scene where Mr. Jeremy Fisher confronts a huge trout might scare smaller children as they might worry for Mr. Jeremy Fisher. However, this scene is extremely brief, so older children might not notice this scene too much. Parents should try to comfort their children about the trout scene and make sure that their children can handle this scene. Overall, “The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher” is a truly memorable book for children who are huge fans of Beatrix Potter's works! I would recommend this book to children ages five and up due to the trout scene.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-19 00:00:00 Margaret Rubright 23rd book of 2020 (147 Books read overall) Rating - 4 Stars Plot Summary - The Tale of Mr Jeremy Fisher, like Peter Rabbit, began life as an illustrated letter to a young child. It was written when Beatrix Potter was on holiday in Scotland where her father and his friends enjoyed fishing expeditions. Mr Jeremy has a day full of the worst fisherman's mishaps when he sets out to catch minnows for his dinner. My Review - It's a tale of Mr Jeremy who wants to invite his friends over for dinner and bring in their favourite dishes. So he goes on to the nearby lake for fishing, but nature has a whole new adventure for him. As he leaves his house he finds himself in trouble but luckily he comes home alive. It's a very small book and I would say a fun read. Conclusion - A fun read. Full Review on Blog. Link to Blog - The Tales of Fugitive Biker
