(Side note- our notebooks are sort of a lapbook/notebook combined. We tried lapbooks- and they just seemed to be in the way- and I didn't know what to do with them. We've since tried this hybrid- with lapbook elements glued onto cardstock then hole punched and put in a binder. That way we can include other things like copywork and other papers that are 8x11 size together with our studies.)
After reading LOTS of Beatrix Potter Tales- Doodle decided that The Tale of Peter Rabbit is his favorite. 
The 3 folds that are closed - "Hpw many days in a fortnight" "Setting of the Story" and "what is a naturalist" Doodle wrote on the wrong side- and I wasn't going to make him re-write ;) 
Doodle did some research on Hedgehogs- since Beatrix Potter had a pet Hedgehog.

We only have about 5 Beatrix Potter books- the rest we read online- Here's a few places we found them:
- http://www.oldpicturebooks.com/
- http://www.tcom.ohiou.edu/books/kids.htm
- http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/p#a292
A few other useful sites in our Potter study
- LOTS of fun stuff on here for the kids to explore- puppet shows, movie clips, games http://www.peterrabbit.com/us/index.asp
- Fun applied Math worksheet
- This "Planning the Garden" was a fun activity to do.
- Each day we did a "Character study sheet" and wrote about one character in a story
- For fun Doodle did a kittens maze
- We also compared 4 stories using this chart and Doodle wrote his own Animal story- This page helped him plan his story- And here's his story-
"One day in the woods there was a rabbit named Nutkin. He stole some food from Mr. Bird. One day he gives it back. He gets scared by Mr. Bird. He learns not to steal."
