The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck (children's picture book)

Jemima is a domestic duck whose eggs are routinely taken by the farmer's wife because she considers Jemima a poor sitter. Seeking a safe place to hatch her eggs, Jemima confides in a fox who deceitfully offers her a spot in his shed. Unaware of the danger, Jemima accepts, echoing the tale of 'Little Red Riding Hood'. The book, a revision of the classic fairy tale, highlights themes of appetite, temptation, and folly, and has been praised as one of Beatrix Potter's best works.
