I enjoyed entering the little world of Peter Rabbit, and spending time with the cute, furry critters therein. 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). Way, way back in the mists of time, back to early childhood, I can remember seeing these stories, in the form of little, hardcover books, and liking them.

She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. This edition includes a section at the end that contains four additional works by Beatrix Potter that were not published in her lifetime.

I was not too familiar with Beatrix Potter when I started reading this book to my granddaughter Cora.The only thing I don't like is that there aren't chapter names, so you don't know which story it is until it starts playing.

Scott followed along well but definitely didn’t grasp 100% of each story, which I’m not sad about because that just means we’ll need to read it again next year and maybe the year after that too.

Beatrix Potter’s tales began when Peter Rabbit first made his appearance in The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, followed by 22 other tales that you will find in Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales. Even though I didn't love all the stories and rhymes, seeing all the lovely paintings and drawings by Potter was a delight. The stories would be good to link to science lessons and animals and their habitats, this could lead to interesting discussions surrounding why the animals in the stories wear clothes and have houses.
