Book Reviews of Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales
Book Review: Difficult to read
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved the tale of Peter Rabbit so I decided to get the collection of Beatrix Potter's "tales" for my 4 year old son. I've been trying to introduce books that are a bit longer and have different stories or chapters to encourage him to want to hear the next story (pre-reading skills). He often used to ask me to read an entire children's book which could be as long as 45 pages, which wouldn't help him when he was learning to read and I wouldn't want him to become frustrated. Many of the Beatrix Potter stories are a bit difficult to read aloud to a child since the language is more proper English rather than current day conversational English and consequently can be difficult to follow for a young child.Book Review: Worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased "Beatrix Potter - The Complete Tales" as a book to read to our grandchildren. We were not sure how little children raised on TV and video games would respond to the sweet, slow-moving tales written over a century ago. What we found was constant requests to "read another one, Grandpa," and "just one more." The little ones absolutely loved this book. The book is beautifully illustrated, beautifully bound, and protected in its box cover.
If you treasure good books, quality books, and wish to pass along these sweet stories to another generation rather than see them watching death and mayhem on the boob tube, we would highly recommend this book for your collection.
Book Review: Beatrix Potter Complete Tales
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the complete collection of Beatrix Potter's books, with all of the original illustrations, in a beautifully bound slip-cased treasure of a volume! I can't express enough how thoroughly pleased we are with this book. It is very sturdy and yet beautiful and graces the bookshelf! In the format of the little books I'd seen before, many of the stories were not printed. It was good to become acquainted with the stories we weren't familiar with and read the ones we have always loved. And this wonderful volume will be a treasure for years and years to come, and I am sure read by my grandson's own children someday.Book Review: the MOST beautiful, sweetest book - exquisite quality
Summary: 5 Stars
this is truly a treasury and a treasure - the big book version here gives a child the Big Picture - since little kids love little books their size, i would also get them one of the boxed sets of the little books for them to carry around and read on their own - also consider buying the audio cd so a child can read/listen to the stories over and over but an adult doesn't haven't to read them over and over to them --- and you must watch the dvd of Miss Potter, which was a very special movie in all ways - give yourself the complete Beatrix Potter experience!Book Review: Fantastic Book -Complete Tales Makes This a Collectible!
Summary: 5 Stars
This heavy and thick volume of Beatrix Potter's Tales is beyond what I expected. The drawings are fantastic, of course her stories are just wonderful, and I would think this will become a hard to find book. It is as much a pleasure for adults (maybe even more so), as it is for children. It is in a very nice hard slipcase for protection. Frankly, this is a treasure that I will keep forever and enjoy throughout the years! Worth every cent, even though a little more costly than most children's books. It's hard to put a real value on a collection like this!
