The definitive Beatrix Potter stories with the original full-color illustrations in a large format. Perfect for storytelling fun at bedtime or any time! Follow the exciting and whimsical adventures of Peter Rabbit and some of his most famous feathery, furry, and froggy friends! This colossal volume features all four original stories featuring the famous bunny, including The Tale of Peter Rabbit , The Tale of Benjamin Bunny , The Tale of Mr. Tod , and The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies as well as some of Potter's lesser-known, but equally-as-charming yarns, including The Tale of Tom Kitten , The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck , The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher , The Tailor of Gloucester , and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin. The basis for countless television shows, films, and spin-offs, Peter Rabbit has been hailed as one of the bestselling stories of all time. The original story features a young rebellious rabbit who, despite his mother’s wishes, enters the dangerous garden of Mr. McGregor to feast on its endless bounty. From there on out, he gets himself into all kinds of trouble and learns a valuable lesson. Review: Lovely book. - Well, considering the stories have held up for over a century, there isn't much to add. It's a good quality book, though perhaps a little bulky for the age group. Pictures are wonderful and the price is very reasonable. Review: Playful!!!! - One of my all time favorite treasuries of stories.

Lovely book.
Well, considering the stories have held up for over a century, there isn't much to add. It's a good quality book, though perhaps a little bulky for the age group. Pictures are wonderful and the price is very reasonable.

Great to pair with Peter Rabbit Tonie
I couldn’t find any decent reviews for this so here it is. I got this book as a companion to the Peter Rabbit Tonie figure. This book has all the stories included on the Tonie plus a few more. The book is a large hardcover about 8”x10” and the pages are pretty thick. The illustrations could be better, maybe larger on the pages or just more vivid but overall a good deal.

Wonderful book to begin a child’s exposure to being read to.
I LOVE this edition! It has given me the most beautiful memories of snuggling with my busy 3 year old grandson and reading every word. —just need to catch him when he’s worn out. There are enough pictures to go with the text that it holds his interest. Plus Beatrix Potter is a wonderful woman who pioneered many causes in her time. I’m happy to keep her memory and art alive.

Meant for children with no discernment
I would say this is definitely an essential collection of tales. Despite this, I purchased this book because I had a small hardback version of the tale of Jeremy Fisher and I wanted to have a version with larger pictures. This did not measure up to that. The pictures were the same size but seemed to be darker and of lower quality. Ended up returning it.
