A classic children's book although I'm unsure if I'll recommend reading it to children。 My only experience with these stories dates back when I was a kid and stumbled upon an animation of how two fat rats are cooking a kitten。 Engraved in my memory， this terrifying scene （which lasted an eternity） haunted me for years。 As a kid I didn't know that children's stories ought to have good endings。 Even now， while I was listening to the story， I dissociated so hard， I still have no idea how Tom kitten A classic children's book although I'm unsure if I'll recommend reading it to children。 My only experience with these stories dates back when I was a kid and stumbled upon an animation of how two fat rats are cooking a kitten。 Engraved in my memory， this terrifying scene （which lasted an eternity） haunted me for years。 As a kid I didn't know that children's stories ought to have good endings。 Even now， while I was listening to the story， I dissociated so hard， I still have no idea how Tom kitten was saved from becoming the rats dinner。Some stories are sweet， but bare in mind Beatrix Potter doesn't shy away from the violence of nature。 The original illustrations may soften the reality a bit， but in other cases they just enhance the contrast between them and the stories。 。。。more

This collection of stories is cute， charming and quite enjoyable。 That being said if you think about the world of Peter Rabbit too much you might think it is really quite dark。

This was a whole nostalgia trip， I remember reading some stories of Beatrix Potter when I would visit the Whalley library with my mom and sister， when it would be our special little trip every week or so。 I never quite got to check out the books for one reason or another， I think maybe I would finish one story while at the library and proceed to take out another book to read at home。 Eventually when I did want to check out her books， they were always on hold for someone else lol。But now！！ When I This was a whole nostalgia trip， I remember reading some stories of Beatrix Potter when I would visit the Whalley library with my mom and sister， when it would be our special little trip every week or so。 I never quite got to check out the books for one reason or another， I think maybe I would finish one story while at the library and proceed to take out another book to read at home。 Eventually when I did want to check out her books， they were always on hold for someone else lol。But now！！ When I saw on my Libby app that the book was available I don’t remember ever being so fast to press the “borrow” button haha。 I got to actually sit and savour the stories， and I remember feeling such fondness for the silly creatures and the lovely illustrations。But now I realized this would’ve been a perfect book to introduce to my son but sadly， it’s sadly on hold again 🙃Oh well， it’ll be a great book to hunt down along the road。 。。。more

Ach was sind das für süße Geschichten und vor allem Zeichnungen von Peter Hase und seinen Freunden！ Einfach nur entzückend。 Ich liebe auch den feinen Sarkasmus， den die Autorin Beatrix Potter immer wieder versprüht。 Allerdings sind mir die Geschichten dann doch etwas zu geradlinig， da man als Erwachsener nicht wirklich darüber nachdenken muss。 Ich lese gerne Kinderbücher， die auch bei Erwachsenen neue Gedanken enstehen lassen wie beispielsweise "Momo" von Michael Ende。 Aber diese Geschichtensamm Ach was sind das für süße Geschichten und vor allem Zeichnungen von Peter Hase und seinen Freunden！ Einfach nur entzückend。 Ich liebe auch den feinen Sarkasmus， den die Autorin Beatrix Potter immer wieder versprüht。 Allerdings sind mir die Geschichten dann doch etwas zu geradlinig， da man als Erwachsener nicht wirklich darüber nachdenken muss。 Ich lese gerne Kinderbücher， die auch bei Erwachsenen neue Gedanken enstehen lassen wie beispielsweise "Momo" von Michael Ende。 Aber diese Geschichtensammlung ist für Kinder eine Fundgrube voller kreativer und herzerwärmender Ideen！ 。。。more

My granddaughter and I are still working our way through this collection。 It's very long but absolutely charming。 The amazing illustrations make the words come alive。。。they seem to be the same as those little books of single stories that I had as a kid。 I highly recommend reading this was a young one because it's full of innocence， humor， a little mischief and warmth/love。 My granddaughter and I are still working our way through this collection。 It's very long but absolutely charming。 The amazing illustrations make the words come alive。。。they seem to be the same as those little books of single stories that I had as a kid。 I highly recommend reading this was a young one because it's full of innocence， humor， a little mischief and warmth/love。 。。。more

Don’t be put off by my three stars。 I love Beatrix Potter but I just couldn’t get along with Nadia May reading the collection。 Did anyone else struggle listening to her？ Will re read as physical books at a later date。

Katharine Schultz ，

The most beautiful illustrations。 The Tailor of Gloucester is my favorite。

Alexandra ，

tI read this in audiobook format。 I thought the tales were pretty good and that it is something that I will read to my future children。 I think these tales might even be good for children to try to read out loud themselves to practice their reading and pronunciation。

I listened to the new audiobook from Audible， and it's fun， not only because Beatrix Potter is amazing and it's fun to notice when the characters recur， but also because of all the amazing celebrity readers who are part of this recording！ My attention wandered a bit in some of the longer stories （some of them missed something without the pictures！） but so many clever narrations and cute sound effects made up for it- it's a great set for children and I enjoyed it too！ I listened to the new audiobook from Audible， and it's fun， not only because Beatrix Potter is amazing and it's fun to notice when the characters recur， but also because of all the amazing celebrity readers who are part of this recording！ My attention wandered a bit in some of the longer stories （some of them missed something without the pictures！） but so many clever narrations and cute sound effects made up for it- it's a great set for children and I enjoyed it too！ 。。。more

It's nearly impossible to crit the works of Beatrix Potter， so embedded are they in the nursery consciousness。 The famous works， Peter Rabbit et al， retain all their charm and the illustrations that accompany them are exquisitely realised and bear close attention。 Her longer prose tales are less successful but in them one does see more fully her love of landscape and her thorough knowledge of English fauna and flora。 What is particularly enlightening are her journals: she knew many if the great It's nearly impossible to crit the works of Beatrix Potter， so embedded are they in the nursery consciousness。 The famous works， Peter Rabbit et al， retain all their charm and the illustrations that accompany them are exquisitely realised and bear close attention。 Her longer prose tales are less successful but in them one does see more fully her love of landscape and her thorough knowledge of English fauna and flora。 What is particularly enlightening are her journals: she knew many if the great painters of her day and enjoyed a rich education， travelling to all corners of Great Britain。 Reading the entries in her journal will bring you closer to Victorian life than any novel by Dickens。 。。。more

Nice collection of short stories。 I enjoyed the ones I was familiar with。 However， I am definitely not the target demographic， and would have enjoyed them more as a child。

Hacía bastante tiempo que buscaba el volumen de todos los relatos de Beatrix Potter en castellano， y al fin lo encontré a más de la mitad del precio de venta en librerías en una página de libros de lance。 No me lo pensé dos veces y lo adquirí。 Y qué bien he hecho en leer los cuentos tan entrañables que escribió Bea en estos momentos。 Ya los había leído años atrás en inglés， pero como mi nivel es bastante básico los dobles sentidos se pierden bastante。 Lo cierto es que la traducción al castellano Hacía bastante tiempo que buscaba el volumen de todos los relatos de Beatrix Potter en castellano， y al fin lo encontré a más de la mitad del precio de venta en librerías en una página de libros de lance。 No me lo pensé dos veces y lo adquirí。 Y qué bien he hecho en leer los cuentos tan entrañables que escribió Bea en estos momentos。 Ya los había leído años atrás en inglés， pero como mi nivel es bastante básico los dobles sentidos se pierden bastante。 Lo cierto es que la traducción al castellano no está mal。 Por una parte entiendo que se españolicen los nombres de algunos animales， como la ardillita Nutkin， la minina Miss Moppet， el entrañable erizo Miss Tiggy-Winkle e incluso el famoso Peter el conejo。 Cada respectivo animal pasa a llamarse en castellano Nogalina， Minina， Bigarrilla y Perico。 Pero que la GANSA （que no oca） Jemima pase a llamarse CARLOTA。。。Eso no tiene perdón de Dios。 ¡Con lo bonito que es Jemima！ De hecho， ¡le puse ese nombre a mi pequeña compañera felina porque me parecía tan original y encantador！ Decisiones de traducción que a veces se toman mal y otras veces bien。 Reconozco que es bastante complicado traducir a Potter， ya que ella utiliza muchos dobles sentidos， juegos de palabras y rimas incluso en prosa。 No llega al nivel de complejidad Edward Lear （creo que antes me pegaría un tiro en el pie que traducir a este escritor）， pero si que tiene sus cositas que Fabián Chueca y Ramón Buckley han sabido llevar la mayoría de las veces。A Beatrix Potter se la disfruta en color。 Eso es así。 Yo leí dos volúmenes que recopilaban sus relatos con ilustraciones en blanco y negro， y ya os digo que no es lo mismo。 A nivel emocional sus ilustraciones。。。te hacen feliz。 Esa gama cromática y ese detallismo tanto en los animales como en los fondos solo lo puedes apreciar en color。 Por eso， en esta ocasión he disfrutado los relatos de verdad。 Y le pongo las cinco estrellas que siempre se mereció。 Mis relatos favoritos en esta ocasión han sido varios: El cuento de la ardilla Nogalina por su contenido macabro y por su fina ironía; El cuento de dos malvados ratones por los valores y su tierno final; El cuento de Jemima porque me he visto muy reflejada en la ingenuidad y en la torpeza de la gansita; El cuento de Doña Ratoncita por las ilustraciones y porque yo， como Doña Ratoncita， soy una obsesa de la limpieza， pero tengo un buen corazón; El cuento del señor Raposo por lo bien que está llevada la acción; y， por último， El cuento de Juanito Ratón de Ciudad por ser un manifiesto pronaturaleza。 Son relatos muy especiales， dedicados a aquellos que son capaces de ver más allá de las apariencias y lo material; pertenecen a un mundo de espíritus， donde no hay dolor aunque sí se acepta la muerte como algo natural y necesario， donde la vida surge y vive cada segundo como si fuera el último， donde hasta la enagua más insignificante tiene valor artístico y literario。。。Era el mundo de Bea， un mundo que nos legó y que sigue inspirado a cientos de artistas。 Gracias por todo Beatrix Potter。 Nunca serás olvidada。 。。。more

This was so much fun to read。 I read the entire book to my two year old at bedtime every night。 Some stories went by quickly and others took a few days to finish， but I could tell my son enjoyed this book。 I was a bit surprised because there are not an abundance of photographs all the time， especially in Robinson at the end， but that didn't seem to bother him or bore him which is a wonderful。 I know we will read these stories again once he's older。 The only thing I disliked was that a few of the This was so much fun to read。 I read the entire book to my two year old at bedtime every night。 Some stories went by quickly and others took a few days to finish， but I could tell my son enjoyed this book。 I was a bit surprised because there are not an abundance of photographs all the time， especially in Robinson at the end， but that didn't seem to bother him or bore him which is a wonderful。 I know we will read these stories again once he's older。 The only thing I disliked was that a few of the stories mentioned hitting and beating their children， so you should be aware that some of the text is dated， but if you can just change the words or skim over it， it's not prevalent by any means， and the stories and vocabulary are wonderful for children。 。。。more

The pictures were beautiful！ The stories were mostly cute but some of them were pretty disturbing！ In Mr。 Tod story， a badger tries to eat the baby bunnies！ Also， in Samuel Whiskers， a rat tries to bake the kitten into a dumpling！ My favorite， of course， is the most famous- Peter Rabbit。
