Beatrix Potter the Complete Tales (Peter Rabbit)

The Beatrix Potter tales reach so many levels in people of all ages. My son is reading the tales to his one year old who just loves the sound of a voice linking with the most magical illustrations, the rhythmic cadences of storytelling laying the best foundations for a future love of reading. To adults, the tales evoke their own magical memories of bedtime reading and family sharing and the tales are so delightful: animals who think and speak like humans, each with his or her own idiosyncrasies and characteristics. Ever child or adult has a favourite! Mine is Mrs Tiggywinkle, perhaps because the name is so comical or because hedgehogs were a common visitor to our garden in the countryside. And the idea that a hedgehog could don a crisp white apron and lay laundry on garden slopes, comes from a brilliant, creative mind. Beatrix Potter UNDERSTOOD and empathized with animal life. As for her drawings and paintings, they are exquisitely delicate and so wonderful in placing the full characters on the page. It us not surprising that so many children’s bedrooms are filled with images from the tales. I bought my first grandson the entire set in individual books. I love that I have been able to buy them all in one volume for my fourth grandchild whose father’s eyes lit up with the warmth of his own childhood memories.

Bought as a present. It’s absolutely beautiful and wonderfully complete collection.

This is a beautiful book! Miss Potter's art and stories are just perfect! 😊

The book is much bigger than I expected and is absolutely stunning! It is nicely packaged and handled with care. My toddler loves the beautiful illustrations and is obsessed with the book. Highly recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A timeless treasure for quiet days We've had this book for months now! This edition of The Tale of Peter Rabbit is everything I hoped it would be—charming, sturdy, and beautifully printed. The classic story still carries its quiet magic, and the small details in the illustrations continue to delight with every page turn. We added it to our daughter’s little library, and even though she’s young (2 years old), she’s already drawn to the softness of the colors and the curious bunnies in their garden coats.

I wanted to get Peter Rabbit as an Easter gift for my 2 year old. But if I'm being honest, the book is more for me than her. These stories are way too long for a 2 year old, but I don't mind waiting until she's older. We have plenty of books that are perfect for her now, but she'll grow out of quickly. This is not one of those books. It's beautiful. It came with a hard case. It's a hardcover book, with thick pages and wonderful illustrations. I got it for $25, which is a steal.

Such a BEAUTIFUL volume! Perfect for a grandmother to share with a lapful of fascinated little ones. Truly a timeless classic!

Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales is a good read. I’ve been rereading some of my favorite children’s stories that I read during my preteen and teen years. As a middle-aged guy I enjoyed revisiting Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales, Charlotte’s Web, Winnie the Pooh The Complete Tales, Dinotopia, Treasure Island, Watership Down and The Wind in the Willows as much, maybe even more, than I did as a kid. All classics. I’d shelve the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, with this group of classic children’s stories too, but not the other books. The Harry Potter series changed from a fun, lighthearted, children’s story in the first book, about 309 pages, to a darker, longer, young adult series, with an average page count above 700 pages after book three. I’m a sampler. I haven’t seen any of the movies from the following series, but I did read the first books, Twilight, Outlander, Fifty Shades of Grey, Divergent, etc. I sample a lot of first books, but I don’t read many complete series. The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, and The Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series by George Martin are a couple of exceptions. Other sci-fi and fantasy authors I like include Douglas Adams, Isaac Asimov, Paolo Bacigalupi, Jack Campbell, Arthur C. Clarke, Earnest Cline, Abe Evergreen, Robert A. Heinlein, Hugh Howey, Larry Niven, Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, John Scalzi, and Andy Weir.

Preciosa colección con un tamaño perfecto para niños. Calidad perfecta.

Beautiful book. The illustrations are nicely integrated and as wonderful as I remember

しっかりした化粧箱のピータラビットの箱に入っています。届いてから何度も開けては見惚れて幸せを味わっています。持っていてテンションんが上がります。購入できてとても嬉しいです。ピーターラビットのお話はとても可愛らしく、読んでいてハラハラドキドキします。良い買い物をしました。

This is the best present for Christening, Blessing, naming day, Christmas and 1 year birthday present! This is a beautiful presented, so many classic Beatrix potter books in a handy case. The stories are beautiful written and illustrated , the perfect length story for parents to read to children and set their imaginations off. Great price for hours of classic story reading. Much better than buying a money box or silver bracelet. Every parent I have bought this for their child has been so surprised and loved the idea. They said they had so many money boxes, book holders, silver things but none of they are as precious as reading to your child in the evening. The reason why I buy this present is because my godmother bought it for me and I always remember my dad reading this with me falling asleep. I still have my Beatrix potter box ready to read to my baby when he/she is born soon. You can’t beat this for a christening present.

Excellent set with good box design and great print quality with colors true to the original drawings of Ms. Potter.
