A note for parents
This classic children's picture book tells the story of a duck who nearly falls prey to a predator but is rescued. The threat is implied rather than graphic, and the danger is resolved before harm occurs. Potter's gentle illustrations and whimsical narrative style make this appropriate for young children, with themes about trusting instinct and the importance of protective figures in one's life.

This original, authorised version has been lovingly recreated electronically for the first time, with reproductions of Potter's unmistakeable artwork optimised for use on colour devices such as the iPad. Poor Jemima. All she wants to do is lay her eggs in peace, and be allowed to hatch them herself. At last she flies off and finds the perfect place. Little does the silly duck realise that the charming gentleman who has lent her his woodshed is busily planning a delicious meal of . . . roast duck! Jemima was a real duck belonging to Beatrix Potter, who lived at her farm, Hill Top. The story also features Beatrix's own sheepdog, Kep, who thankfully manages to save Jemima from a nasty fate!
