The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is about a simple minded duck who trusts a fox to take care of her eggs while she is away. While the fox is “watching” the eggs, Jemima is off making new friends in the forest. Her new friends tell her to hurry back to her eggs before they are gone. When she returns, Jemima finds her eggs eaten. She learns not to trust anyone with her eggs and lays new eggs. This time she is patient and cares for her eggs herself.  Jemima  learns to be independent and to take care of herself and her babies. This Beatrix Potter story has wonderful illustrations and not your cliche children’s book story line. The World of Beatrix Potter had several models of Jemima Puddle-Duck and her eggs. It was fantastic to be able to see Jemima come to life through the museum. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to those who love a good Beatrix Potter tale!
