itselvv's review
with each story, I think Beatrix’s works aren’t such a living classic, whatever lessons are in her books, it doesn’t match today’s world. some stories were very sweet, it’s just that the majority held meanings and morals I don’t lean towards. Maybe it was groundbreaking on her days, but it’s for sure not something to give a child to [unintentionally] get inspired by in present society.
The artwork though, is so creative and charming. I always love to observe old paintings, it gives me such lovely, tender feelings that I cannot put into words. there’s something about glamorous, moving art by deceased artists that makes it so unique to me.

This was extremely cute and all, not to mention free on Amazon at the time I got it, but I definitely recommend taking a break between each story, otherwise you'll get bored.
Beatrix Potter's stories are too well known for me to even mention anything more about them, but if you never heard of her and her books, then you must really check this out. The illustrations are fantastic and the stories will make you feel nostalgic about your childhood. Or even better, read it to your younger siblings or kids. :)

When I was a child, I loved watching the animated versions of these stories about Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, and many other characters by Ms. Potter. When I came across this collection of short stories, I just knew I had to read them. They are just delightful! And the illustrations are so much fun! I enjoyed reading this book greatly, as recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good children's story every now and then.

Nice Collection
The Images reproduction is comparable to the original books (not the original illustrations). Wonderful to carry this collection with you everywhere. Text accurate.

I don't know what's funnier - the casual horror of being an animal in one of these stories or parents realising what their kids are reading
