Book Reviews of Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales
Book Review: Perfect Gift for anyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Book Review: Beautiful but too bulky for real use
Summary: 3 Stars
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!Book Review: children's literature
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is wonderful to share with children. It is too heavy for young children to hold but the stories and illustrations are outstanding! When I read this book, I think of how wonderful it would have been to hold young ones on my lap and read to them and discuss the beautiful illustrations. It is one of my favoite books and I am 80. I can hardly wait for the great grandchilren to come so I can share it with them.
Wish I had this book when I was teaching kindrgarten.
Book Review: Essential Beatrix Potter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book containing all the works of Beatrix Potter. I think every home should have the complete works of Beatrix Potter, and this is a great way to get all the stories and illustrations in one volume. This is a lot less bulky than the complete works sets containing individual books. As far as I know, no illustrations have been left out. It comes in a nice slipcase and looks very elegant. I gave one to both of my children's grandmas for Christmas and they loved them.Book Review: Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not the pick-up-and-read size for a young reader. It's for the "read to me" time of day I think. So it's a great bonding device not quite suited to the busy caregiver.
The stories are cosy and impart much wisdom. The illustrations are as stimulating as the stories. So set aside quality time for the questions that follow.
The tone is gentle and values are not ignored.
Valuable addition to a child's library.
