The Tale of Applebeck Orchard (The Cottage Tales of Beatrix
This book along with the others about Beatrix Potter by Susan Wittig Albert has continued to enchant and satisfy my two grandchildren (8 & 10), my daughter who reads to them every night and me, an old, old lady. How I ever picked up the first one is beyond me but I am so glad that I did. I see each book in color, in action and look forward to any others she writes. I appreciate the opportunity ...

Love Debby DuBay's new book on Potter! A must for the collector!
This charming book opens with Debby DuBay chatting away on how she met the Miss Potter and collector of today - Kara Sewall. I love this book and highly recommend it to all collectors, Peter Rabbit and Potter fans. Thanks to Debby DuBay for another charming book; she has a unique way of inviting us into her life and the lives of her friends and then getting us addicted to whatever the subject ...

Peter Rabbit's Giant Storybook

The Penguin Group, 1999

Perfect for bedtime and beyond!
This book was a gift for our first born. Now that he's 4 and our youngest is 2.5, it's still a favorite. The stories are the perfect length for getting them to settle in at night. The plots aren't so complicated that they don't understand what's happening in the story, either. I enjoy reading them the stories, which is always a plus! The pictures are great, but what else would you expect ...

Speedy delivery and packaged very well.
I ordered this as a christening gift for my nephew on Monday 10/05 and it arrived in Sydney Australia on 14/05 as per the guaranteed delivery date (the christening date is 16/05 so i was counting on the item arriving on this date). I was worried that the box may be damaged in transit but it was packaged so well that the box is in amazing condition. This is my first experience using Amazon ...

children's literature
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 ...

Frederick Warne Publishers Ltd, 1986

A lovely book for any Beatrix Potter fan
I can't say enough about this book. I happened see this book while seaching for biography books. This book felt like it was calling to me, to take it home and read a part of Beatrix's life. The artwork and the little hidden extras, really made this book, Pop! I felt like I was taking a peak into her own diary. The letters and drawings were quite detailed. I hope other people will find ...

The Tale of Holly How

25 reviews

Berkley, 2006

Light, bright and fun mystery
Certain friends of mine have persuaded me to branch out to the Mystery section of the bookstore - where I found this adorable little series of books. Imagine a mystery being solved by cute talking animals and the wonderful Miss Beatrix Potter herself, and you have the main theme of this series. Potter is featured as herself, the children's-book writer who has purchased a farm in the Lake ...

Susan Denyer

Frances Lincoln, 2009

As beautiful as it looks
This book was a real pleasure to read very slowly. It is a room by room description of Beatrix Potter's Hill Top farm house and includes the gardens. Beatrix started journaling about what she loved in a home from the time she was nine years old and this house is the cummulation of a life long interest in interior and exterior design theory. She fit in with the whole Arts and Crafts movement of ...

Beatrix Potter is a timeless classic.....
The Complete Tales of Beatrix Potter book arrived in record time and it is such a classic book that I will read it over and over again to my son.

Classic and funny with awesome pictures and takes you back to ...

The Tale of Cuckoo Brow Wood (Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter Mysteries)

15 reviews
Susan Wittig Albert

Berkley Hardcover, 2006

Continues to enchant
If the village of Near Sawrey put out its weekly newspaper about the fortnight during which this story takes place, some of the headlines would read: "Major Christopher Kittredge returns to Raven Hall with his Lovely New Bride" and "Rat Explosion at Hill Top Farm Threatens Village" and "Village Plans May Day Celebration" and perhaps "Stay Clear of the Cuckoo Brow Wood on May Eve." The society ...

Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter

Derrydale, 1992

Priceless and timeless tales
I had several of the small Beatrix Potter books as a child. The drawings and stories enchanted me, and the books were just the right size for my hands. This book is much bigger. It also includes more stories than my original collection--nineteen. It is easy to find the Peter Rabbit stories and some of the others in the small books--but some of the stories in this book (such as the wonderful ...

Warne, 2006

Perfect Baby Shower Gift!
My children grew up with Beatrix Potter books, the small books they could easily hold, so I was thrilled to find The World of Peter Rabbit Gift Box 1 when searching for a co-worker's baby shower gift. The box itself is very sturdy, heavy,& durable, with a substantial latch, while the books are dust jacketed hardback books that are just the right size for a toddler's hands. Books 1-12 were the ...

Sweet Little Package
Bought this to go with a hand knit baby coat that had Beatrice Potter characters on the buttons. The book and little stuffed rabbit were a very nice addition to the gift, Mom-to-be loved it. This would be a lovely stocking stuffer for a new baby or a nice shower gift. Book and Peter Rabbit are sized for a little one's hands.

Beatrix Potter

Gramercy, 1992

Magical Little Book
I had this book as a child and thought I would never again set eyes on these wonderful illustrations by Beatrix Potter. I didn't even know the title of the book, only remember an untidy "lady mouse" character in the story named Hunka Munka. My husband suprised me with this book as an adult and seeing those beautiful illustrations swept me directly back to my childhood. I realised that I had never ...

My Father's House: A Childhood in Wartime Bavaria

5 reviews
Beatrix Ost

Helen Marx Books / Books & Co, 2007

Brilliant work
I was deeply moved by this passionate and elegant depiction of a world we seldom see, that of the good Germans in the WWII period, and of the way that the evil around them impinged on their lives, and of the ways that their lives kept right on going despite all that. The prose is stunning, the imagery beautiful, and the whole thing suffused with profound love. I recommend it unconditionally.

MY FIRST YEAR (A BEATRIX POTTER BABY BOOK)

JUDY TAYLOR

FREDERICK WARNE & CO., 1987

Lots of rooms for thoughts and photos
I looked around at a lot of baby journals before finally choosing this one for my firstborn son. I liked that it was sweetly childlike, the way Beatrix Potter tends to be, but not cartooney and not too frilly or feminine. There's plenty of room to paste photos from page to page (unlike others I've seen) and a pocket in the back, where I've stored his hospital tags and other mementoes that didn't ...

Little Books of Beatrix Potter: The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher

5 reviews
Beatrix Potter

Gramercy, 1992

Potter never talks down to children!
I was given this book when I was ten, and it is now a favorite of my three year old. She especially loves that Mr. Jeremy's house is "slippy-sloppy" and that he likes getting his feet wet. The story is fun and funny, and Potter's use of language is intelligent. This is the kind of book that inspires children to be better speakers. Any children's writer who uses words like "disconsolately" is ...

The tailor of Gloucester (Cadmus books)

5 reviews
Beatrix Potter

E.M. Hale, 1962

A classic for slightly older children
This is my favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, and I probably read all of them as a child. It's ideal for a slightly older child. A very sweet story of a tailor, his cat, and a group of mice who save his business when he is too ill to work.

PlainTales, Inc., 2009

We LOVE Plain Tales!
This is a wonderful CD! The stories are great and the fact my kids can listen to them whenever they want is priceless. It is so refreshing to see classics become so easily accessible for our children. I love the fact that it is short stories on just 1 cd. This cd says for ages 4 and up but my toddler LOVES this one, definately one of his new favorites, second only to Plain Tales Gingerbread Boy.
