to think that Beatrix Potter books need a reboot?

I've been reading some of the books with dd and I'm surprised by the large scale child abuse that occurs in them. Children are routinely smacked, whipped and even locked in cupboards!

How are these books still on release? Surely they need a Star Wars style reboot (so Han shoots in retaliation) with all the abuse removed?

I can't stand BP but that's just because I find them dull. A bit of fairy tale style mistreatment is so prevalent in children's fiction you'll struggle is BP offends.

Will you ban Roald Dahl too?
