This book contains 23 of the author’s stories along with all of the original illustrations that accompany each tale. They are arranged in order of their publishing date so they can be read in the correct sequence. And the book contains a special section at the end of this collection, which contains additional work she created but never got published while she was alive. The first story she ever had published, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was an instant classic. Like her other characters, Peter Rabbit may have been well dressed and groomed, but they were quite mischievous and got into hot water from time to time. What child can’t relate to Peter Rabbit’s plight? What’s more, you can learn about the origins of each story and about the author’s life because there is a note about this information at the beginning of each story contained in Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales.

In a world of HD TV and 3-D video games, illustrator Frederick Warne’s artwork that depict Peter Rabbit and the rest of Beatrix Potter’s imaginary creatures are simple but beautifully done. The illustrations are in black-and-white but many are done in color as well. This is a far cry from the books and television programs these kids are used to these days, but they love Beatrix Potter’s tales anyway.

Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales is a collection of incredibly sweet and kind-hearted stories and beautifully done illustrations. This volume is a treasure that should be in every home. Although intended for the younger crowd between 4 to 8 years old, adults will love to read all 400 pages too. They are very charming and written in a very enjoyable style far above what is considered to be good children’s literature these days.

Beatrix Potter’s story about two bad mice — Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb, who aren’t really about naughty at all, although they do cause a lot of damage in a doll house. The two mice get into a doll house while its residents – Lucinda and Jane – are out for a walk. While they’re inside, Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb smash the doll food, shred feather beds, and toss doll clothes out of the window. They even steal some pieces that were in the doll house into their mouse hole. The dollhouse owner sees the vandalism and buys a policeman doll to guard the structure. To make up for their wrongdoing, Hunca Munca cleans the dollhouse each morning and Tom Thumb places a crooked sixpence in Lucinda’s stocking.

The story about Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb was published in 1904 and has been reprinted many times over the years. But over time, Beatrix Potter’s beautiful, detailed illustrations have lost their luster – until a publisher reprinted them using modern printing techniques. These watercolor paintings now look like they did the day the author/illustrator created them. Damage on the artwork can even be fixed.

Beatrix Potter is a world-renowned author and illustrator who is a favorite among children’s literature writers. Her stories, like The Tale of Two Bad Mice, are loved by many children and their parents, whether they’re about Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, or the two naughty mice Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb. You’ll want to make these classic tales a part of story time before you tuck your little creatures in at night.

The duck appeared first in The Tale of Tom Kitten before he broke out and got a story of his own. The protagonist in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck isn’t permitted to keep eggs she lays on the farm, so she tries to find another nesting place, this time in the forest. A lovely, gentleman fox discusses the duck’s dilemma and talks her into building a nest at a house with plenty of feathers, although no feathered animals live there. The wile fox then convinced Jemima to collect herbs, the kind typically used in stuffing duck. But the reuse is revealed by the farm collie, Kep, who rescues her from the fox’s lunch menu. She eventually finds a place to hatch her four eggs back at the farm.

Like her many other books, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is filled with Beatrix Potter’s own artwork. Her soft, pastel watercolors stand the test of time. They are delightful and detailed, although many of them have been diminished by the many reprints over the years. But modern printing techniques have allowed the book’s publisher to repair the damage and make the illustrations look almost as they looked when Beatrix Potter created them.

Everyone has their favorite character, whether it’s Peter Rabbit, Hunca Munca, Tom Kitten, or the naïve protagonist in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck. And you don’t have to be a child to enjoy this wonderful, 64-page tale. Adults who read this book to their kids often take pleasure in the stories because they remember reading them when they were children. Someday, your kids will be telling their own children about Jemima and the deceptive fox.

Included in the collection are The House at Pooh Corner, Winnie-the-Pooh, Now We are Six, and When We Were Very Young. These books are considered some of the smartest of its kind and were most likely written for himself as well as his son. They are infused with a wit and style usually reserved for books intended for a much older audience. That’s not to say that kids won’t be able to understand the stories in The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh. They can. Plus, Milne has created an appealing ensemble of characters that include a pig, piglet, donkey, a boy named Christopher Robin (inspired by the author’s son), and a tiger named Tigger who bounces. And he writes about subjects to which children can relate in creative ways, such as when Pooh gets stuck in Rabbit’s doorway or sad, pathetic Eeyore and his almost forgotten birthday.

This volume brings together all these stories in a much larger, more colorful format. The stories are unabridged and the illustrations that go with the stories are re-colored. These cheerful illustrations are created by Ernest H. Shepard, who is known for his warm, quaint watercolors.

It’s surprising that an author so focused on writing for an older crowd can create such a powerful, whimsical series of books contained in The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh. Nevertheless, A.A. Milne has done so. Winnie-the-Pooh’s world is as popular today as it was the day it was created. The lovable bear is a favorite throughout the globe as it’s been translated into 21 different languages. This collection of stories shows that you can do something great even when you don’t intend for it.

Peter Rabbit’s Giant Storybook is a 12-by-12 inch oversized hardcover book that features high-quality reproductions of Beatrix Potter’s original watercolor and ink illustrations with all the charm of her original books. Although the format of the author’s books may hold sentimental and practical value (because little hands can more easily hold little books), this much larger book has an appeal of its own. It’s the perfect size for an adult to read while their little bunny is snuggled on the lap of the reader. The book is about 2 feet wide when fully opened with several illustrations on each page, which draws children into the stories about Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, Benjamin bunny, and all the rest of Beatrix Potter’s most cherished characters.

So in honor of Peter Rabbit’s birthday, publisher Frederick Warne decided to publish each one of Beatrix Potter’s 23 stories about one of the most beloved characters in children’s literature in a volume called The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. The idea behind these new editions is to get the illustrations in the reprinted versions as close to the originals as possible. Modern printing techniques can help bring back to life these beautiful illustrations by making the details and colors of the watercolor illustrations more like the original versions and damage on the paintings can be disguised with computer technology. What’s more, this volume will include some illustrations that had never been seen before in the author’s picture books.

The illustrations follow the intricacy of the world Beatrix Potter created for her beloved characters while reflecting human characteristics that make it easy for children to relate. And the font used for the text is large to make it easy to read. Pictures are interspersed within the words and on full pages on a light green background.

There are few authors of books intended for younger readers that are more revered than Beatrix Potter, even though she wrote these beloved stories a very long time ago.

Does it stand the test of time? Beatrix Potter’s stories and the revamped version of these stories called The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies certainly do.

One of her follow-ups to Peter Rabbit was The Tale of Pigling Bland. This story is about a pig and his brother named Alexander who are made to go to the market because there isn’t enough food to feed all the piglets. Pigling is a sensible pig but his brother is anything but. Alexander immediately gets into hot water by losing his papers and eventually gets taken away by the police. The title character sets out to find his brother only to get lost in the woods, spending the night in an unfamiliar chicken coop. A gruff farmer spots him in the morning and allows him to stay, but the pig doesn’t know if he should trust the farmer. His suspicions are confirmed when our hero discovers the farmer’s second pig whom he plans to turn into bacon and ham. The other pig named Pig Wig hatches a plot to run away with the main character so neither will have to face an undesirable end. They both sneak away in the morning and almost get caught, but they eventually escape and dance away, celebrating their freedom.

Beatrix Potter delights in pen-and-ink drawings and watercolors in The Tale of Pigling Bland and her many other books. She does not disappoint in any of her books. They are colorful, yet soft and have a unique style.

How many authors of books geared for children ages 3 to 8 have creations that have lasted for more than a century? Not many can draw readers into a story in the way Beatrix Potter has. Pigling’s story is a wonderful bedtime story, so make it a part of your child’s bedtime routine. It doesn’t disappoint.

In 1971 The Lorax was published, and in this story Dr. Seuss decided to show children how important it was to save the planet. The story follows a villain known as a Once-ler. The Once-ler finds a beautiful world, and then he decides to start chopping down the Truffula Tree tufts in order to procude Thneeds.

It may be that parents and children alike can identify with Peter’s predicament.  Not only does he almost get caught, but when he returns home he must face the consequences of disobeying his mother.  The Tale of Peter Rabbit reminds children that parents set rules to protect them and that there are indeed results for good and bad behavior.

Coupled with beautiful artistry, the full color paintings are a treat to look at.  When the rabbit family gets ready for a day out, Peter sits up in his blue jacket and his siblings wear little red capes.  With the alertness of Peter’s ears, one can easily picture how startled he is when he suddenly comes face to face with Mr. McGregor.  With some challenging sentences, children will eventually come to read The Tale of Peter Rabbit with great pride on their own.
