Label: audible.com Manufacturer: audible.com Publisher: audible.com Studio: audible.com Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: "I cannot draw you a picture of Peter and Benjamin underneath the basket," writes Beatrix Potter in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, "because it was quite dark, and because the smell of onions was fearful; it made Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin cry." Beatrix Potter's animal stories, the first of which was published in 1902, have been a joy to generations of young readers. This deluxe volume collects all of Beatrix Potter's 23 Peter Rabbit tales and verses together--complete and unabridged--in one book. All the original illustrations, both color and black and white, are included. The stories are arranged in the order in which they were first published to enable them to be read in the proper sequence, from A Tale of Peter Rabbit to The Tale of Little Pig Robinson. Beatrix Potter's tales were often connected with real places, people, or animals, so each story also includes a brief introductory note about its history. For example, "The story of naughty Peter Rabbit in Mr. McGregor's garden first appeared in a picture letter Beatrix Potter wrote to Noel Moore, the young son of her former governess, in 1893." In addition to the original 23 tales, this edition contains two early narrative picture sequences, Three Little Mice and The Rabbit's Christmas Party. And, there are two charming little stories, The Sly Old Cat and The Fox and the Stork, which were originally intended to be worked up into books, but remained unpublished. This beautiful introduction to the world of Beatrix Potter is sure to remain on the family bookshelf for generations to come. (Baby to Preschool) Product Description: This work brings together Beatrix Potter's 23 tales in one volume. The complete texts are arranged in the order in which they were first published, and are presented with the original illustrations, both colour and black and white. Each story also has a brief introductory note about its history. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Meet Peter Rabbit and His FriendsIt could be that more people know ABOUT the stories of Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)than actually know them. Peter Rabbit is certainly well known, and all the stories tend to get lumped into the category of toddler tales. Not so! Most of them are for children a little older, who can perhaps even read them themselves as well as enjoy being read to. There are a couple of true picture books for the very young, and a couple of longer stories for older children. But who knew? The way ...

In spite of tracking every few minutes, and that these are *very* short tales, often only 2-3 tracks long, not one of the stories we have heard thusfar begins at the beginning of a track. That's right, there is no way to hear any of these stories (including the first one, The Tale of Peter Rabbit) without fast forwarding through a track to find the beginning. What was Blackstone THINKING when they broke ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful book!I recently ordered this book from Amazon.com and was very happy with the book - especially for the price! The book is breathtakingly beautiful and the slipcase makes it more of an heirloom item, rather than a simple book for young children. This book is the complete works by Beatrix Potter and so much easier to read than the smaller books orginally published for small childrens' grip. I would strongly recommend ALL parents of young children - as well as adults reminiscing ... Read More Rating: - One of the greatest childrens booksThis is a must read for little kids. It's fun, entertaining, politically incorrect, well illustrated, teaches good lessons and uses the English language the way it was meant to be. The high-gloss paper is nice. Rating: - A Beautiful BookI bought this book for my grandchildren, and couldn't be more pleased. A great introduction to classic children's books. Beautifully illustrated with the original drawings. This is a book to keep and pass down to the next generation. |
