Wonderful Book Collection!

2008-05-09
I thought this collection of Beatrix Potter Stories was just precious. The book itself is beautiful and made with quality in mind. I would recommend this to anyone who has kids or is a kid at heart.

Beautiful but too bulky for real use

2008-05-02
While this is a beautiful anthology, I find that my children never choose to read it or look at it themselves because it is simply too heavy and bulky for little hands. It's heavy to hold while laying down reading before bed, so I don't tend to pick it as a read-aloud either. The binding has also broken loose from the pages, caused by a very little girl trying to carry the book by the front cover! I've decided to break down and get the individual boxed set of stories so that we will actually read them!

Beatrix Potter, the complete tales

This is a wonderful book, with all the tales of Beatrix Potter, and will make a wonderful gift. A future heirloom.

Gorgeous, heirloom-quality book!

Being an avid reader myself as a child, I thought it was so important to begin a collection of fantastic books for my baby. This was one of the first on my list, and I'm thrilled with the quality. The illustrations are stunning, as well as the weighty feel of each page and the nice, thick hardcover. Not highlighted in the description was the nifty hardback protective sheath that comes with the book--what a fabulous extra! I know it will be a book my daughter will treasure for many years to come and she will enjoy many bedtimes with this book. I especially liked that it was the complete tales, not just a few Beatrix Potter favorites--it was important to me that I get the "whole collection" of stories when buying a book like this. I'd recommend this book to anyone who values high-quality, heirloom books! You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful

This book was more than I had hoped for and at a bargain price. The hard sleeve it came in is very beautiful and will protect the book. I like the in-depth history of Beatrix and some of her stories.

Beautiful book

I purchased this book for myself but ended up giving it to a friend for her new twins. I'm sure they will enjoy it as much as I did. Beautiful publication. I read Peter Rabbit as a child long ago and didn't realize it was Beatrix Potter. She's a special favorite of mine.

A Book for All ages...

I bought this for my 14 year old niece. She has a slight reading problem, as some kids do and this book has helped her to want to learn to read more then prior to receiving it. Outstanding for family read alongs.

Ideal keepsake gift

Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales is well worth buying. Of course it is beautifully illustrated with all the loved tales. It comes in a gift box which means that when it is not being used it can be safely stored!

Lovely book

This is a wonderful book and makes a truly lovely gift. The illustrations are beautiful and the quality is excellent. An outstanding gift for any baby or child. I've bought three already!

Perfect Gift for anyone!

When I first opened the box that contained this book, I very greedily sat and held the book to myself; this is mine I thought. I have never seen all of Miss Potter's work in one place, with all her illustrations so perfectly recreated and the background of Miss Potters life included with each story . The book is bound chronologically, and is so sweet. After I devoured the book I realized what a perfect nursery gift it would be, and took it to my favorite grandchild; she can learn to read and share the book with her younger siblings! How lovely is that!
