Beatrix Potter’s bestselling books “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” “The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck” and “The Tale of Benjamin Bunny” each will feature both “read” and “play” modes, bringing illustrations to life using AR technology and allowing users to interact with the characters in the stories to augment their understanding and learning.
