Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales: The 23 Original Tales (Peter Rabbit)

Product Information

This large volume has all of Potter's 23 animal stories and verses in complete, unabridged format and it includes all the original illustrations (colour and black and white) as well.

I was not too familiar with Beatrix Potter when I started reading this book to my granddaughter Cora.I have tried to play other books in the car but he would scream and wanted to hear this book instead. We who are older can remember when the stories were read to us and how scared we felt when Peter went under the fence.

Some of the endings are a bit twee or abrupt, some of them don't seem to have any point at all (like the one about Pig Robinson), and some are just plain boring (like sadly almost any story with a cat in it).

Though some of the stories kept me so pulled in I didn't want to look at the drawing in detail until later because I just wanted to find out the ending of that story.
