"Her word choice and her pacing are musical and charming. Her humor is sly, and the children can enjoy the simple tales of adventurous animals while the adults muse upon Potter's all around poetic cleverness. She is one of my favorite read aloud authors, and the pictures are an excellent bonus."

" I "heart" this author. :D "
— Patty, 2/20/2014" Although lovely, the British vocabulary made it difficult for my children, 3 & 7, to listen to the stories (audio version) and internalize the meaning. "
— Tanya, 2/13/2014" We are listening to these classic children's tales in the car. John Matthew likes the story of Peter Rabbit, but not the story of Squirrel Nutkin. "
— Katrina, 2/9/2014" Beautifully illustrated. Cute children's stories. "
— Marissa, 2/4/2014" Interesting, but was never a huge Beatrix Potter fan. It was fun to read it to my daughter. "
— Adam, 2/3/2014" I think this would have been much better if I just read the book and could see the illustrations. The narrator did a good job, but listening to this as an audiobook just wasn't the same. "
— Julie, 1/31/2014" Love reading these to the boys "
— Angie, 1/20/2014" Cute stories, many remembers from childhood. Beautiful paintings I can't wait to visit! and some of the tales still draw a chuckle. "

— Sarah, 1/7/2014Helen Beatrix Potter (1866–1943), born in London, is regarded as one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher, and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist. Her books have been translated into nearly every language and have never been out of print.
