    A beautiful collection of all twenty-three original Peter Rabbit with full-color reproductions of Potter's illustrations. A must-have for anyone who grew up with her stories.

    This reading was decent, but cannot beat Vivien Leigh’s excellent narration of the same stories.

    What's not to love? Perhaps the newest generation of parents will find the characters too sweet and the writer entirely too naive for today's world, but maybe that is why they need to read this delightful book.

    I will get through this whole review without using the word "charming."Beatrix Potter is a hero of mine. She was a talented illustrator who wanted to do nature drawings for scientific journals. Her claim to fame ended up being Peter Rabbit. This plus 21 other tiny little books of tales served as my bedtime reading this week. We found a complete boxed set at a used book store. While I was familiar with Peter Rabbit, had read Beatrix's bio, and named a goat after her, I had never read the complete tales until now.It was a joy. Apart from the fact that the animals wear clothing, the illustrations and even many of the tales are very true to life. Peter Rabbit looks and feels very bunnylike indeed after losing his shoes and coat, lost and disoriented and damp from hiding in the watering can. The dogs, mice, badgers, frogs, "puddleducks", hens, piglets, etc. inhabiting this world, while engaging in people-like pursuits, keep their respective animal natures about them. One of my favorite tales involved two mice ransacking a dollhouse. After trying and failing to eat the tiny plaster food, they commence making a general mess and then spiriting various objects down their mousehole. Very mousey. Next morning, the dolls just stare and smile.Beatrix lost her fiance tragically during a long engagement insisted upon by her parents, to whom she felt duty but little more. When they had both passed away, and she had inherited and earned money enough, she left the city she never liked and bought herself a farm among her beloved lakes. She came to life. And she was instrumental in preserving the local breed of sheep. I just felt like putting in a plug of why she's my hero.

    My mommy got this book for me for my first Christmas, but we had to wait a long time to read it. Now that I'm two and a half, I enjoy reading these stories with my mommy. I can't believe how many stories are in this book! We have to use a bookmark! I like all the animal adventures.

    I grew up with Beatrix potter’s stories, and used to get my parents to read them to me all the time. This anthology of her work is a great book that can be read out loud to children and is mostly about animals found around a common farm. Some of the stories do have some questionable content like rabbit threatened to be eaten or animals getting trapped but I remember not being effected by that at all, in fact that made the ending even better. It’s great when a small animal out wits the human that’s threatening them.The book is formatted so that each important portion of the story has a page to itself and an illustration of what’s going on. This is great it a child wants to flip through the book themselves and will engaged them in the story. The pictures are beautifully drawn with rich colors that are very appealing to young and old eyes, and add more to the story. It visually shows just how clever a young rabbit is feeling or how a little kitten feels about getting dirty, much better than words could.

    Nothing can make me feel better than Beatrix Potter - especially with full color plates like these to look at.

    I never read these as a child (sad I know) and so enjoyed sharing them with my own children. This book which contained all of her works including some unpublished works was lovely. It’s one of those books that will be read and read again, so is one I’d like to own.Loved the stories, loved the illustrations. Both of my children enjoyed them all.

    All the stories Beatrix Potter wrote in one large book, with the original illustrations. It is a lovely book, and my son loved it. I love the little books which fit in a child's hand, but this was a less expensive alternate.

    I've been reading this aloud to my 7yo for a month or so, reading one story every now and then. The stories are presented here in chronological order as published with 4 unpublished works at the end. The stories are wonderful, darling tales of anthropomorphic animals. Once she married in 1913 she didn't have as much time for her painting and writing and I think it shows as the stories in the first half of the book are much more enjoyable than the latter ones. The stories are somewhat didactic but not overly so. They are also much more violent than I would have thought them to be. Naughty children are spanked frequently and Potter presents as a matter of fact that animals are often killed by hunters, farmers and other animals.The 7yo really enjoyed the stories, especially the ones in which Peter Rabbit or members of his family appeared. Also, while each story stands alone there are references to prior events and characters and this was fun to notice when reading them in order. This edition itself includes a brief biography of Beatrix Potter at the front and prior to each story is a short introductory paragraph detailing connections in the story with Potter's real life. All the original illustrations, including the original front covers illustrations, are included and this is a book that can be browsed through just for the gorgeous watercolours and sketches.

    I love these small books because of the illustrations. BP is an acute observer, and her pictures are so full of these small, wonderful details. She creates a small and idyllic world that any child relates to. At the same thing she is not totally unrealistic because her world can be quite sinister and threatening at times as well. The text is interesting because she is a mix of the stereotypical annoying Victorian bitch and a quite modern woman. The books are a delight to read to kids, again and again as it happens.
