Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Jeremy Fisher
Beatrix Potter · 2001
88/100
👍 Worth It
Over a century of continuous readership is the most honest review any picture book can get, and Mr. Jeremy Fisher earns every year of it. Potter's watercolors are among the finest in the history of children's illustration, and the comic misadventure — frog nearly swallowed, rescued by his own raincoat — is perfectly calibrated for the picture-book form. A genuine classic that belongs on every young shelf.
