 Cute and light, but with some serious themes. This is great collection of classic stories. Most were unfamiliar to me, so I'm glad I finally got a chance to read these children's classics. 

 A lovely celebration of spring and animals.

It was a lot of fun to reread these stories before visiting Beatrix Potter's farm in England!

This was such a sweet one for me! I think this should be a part of every child’s upbringing. Loved it!

Whew! I read this with my children over 3 months. I LOVE Beatrix Potter’s artwork so I especially enjoyed seeing it all with the stories. There are definitely a few of these we will read over and over. Our favorites:

The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher
The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes
The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse

A delightful read. The pictures are so charming and the stories are fun for kids and adults alike. The characters are endearing and it was fun to see the same ones appear in different stories.
