Lovely classic stories with beautiful pictures. A must-have for any young child! However I was disappointed with this edition: the text is fine, but the pictures are too small. Also, Beatrix Potter had originally designed these stories as individual books that would be just the right size to captivate a child. I think it would be better to offer the 4 original small, hardback books, with a full-page picture opposite every paragraph of text. It might be slightly expensive (not much I don't think), but it would be historically accurate and much more enjoyable. Also, take note that the "Complete Tales of Peter Rabbit" include 4 stories, whereas Beatrix Potter wrote a total of 23 books. While these are all the ones including Peter Rabbit, they are only a small part of a larger collection (which includes Timmy Tiptoes, Jemima Puddleduck, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Squirrel Nutkin...). I guess all this bothers me as I grew up with the full collection of original format books, and this edition does not do them justice.

My kids and I love three out of the four stories (the fourth is quite long). The pictures are small and hard to see, but the stories are so great it makes up for it. I love how it's the original stories, instead of a condensed version. Good book pick!

The Beatrix Potter books are my daughter's favorite books. We've read them over and over and over again the past 3 years. I'd say at least weekly we read at least one of the stories and Peter Rabbit is definitely the all time favorite. Both my 4 and 6 year old listen intently to the story.

These are great! I think five or six instead of four or five. My kids, 3 and 7, enjoyed them.

Oh how I love all these stories! My son was only interested in two though: Peter Rabbit and Squirrel Nutkin. How I wish he was as thrilled with them as I was! 5 stars from me, 2 from my son make it 3 1/2 stars, so I rounded up. )

This edition has the classic tales of Peter Rabbit and his friends with the original illustrations by Miss Potter. Delightful!

My daughter loves this and many other stories by Beatrix potter, it's one of the favorites in my house.

My children did not find these stories the most engaging. The illustrations were beautiful and this is a classic. Each story had a moral--bad behavior and inattention were not rewarded.

Peter Rabit is wonderful. The tales are engaging, the vocabulary is challenging, and the conversations that follow are introspective. This naughty little bunny is one of our favorites.
