    " As much as I enjoyed the stories (& I did), Jim Weiss narration was very sugary & off-putting. So much so that the five year-old I was listening with asked "what is wrong with that man". I wish it had been read without the lispy character voice. "

    " I remember these Peter Rabbit tales and others by Beatrix Potter being used in my elementary school first year... Oh how I enjoyed them... "

    " I've always liked Peter Rabbit and also the Flopsy Bunnies, but I'm wondering whether that's because those are the best stories or if it's because of nostalgia. The rest of the stories were a little bit cute and a little bit entertaining and a little bit pleasantly dull. "

    " Indeed this book could have been entitled Mr. MacGregor's Garden...but the illustrations & love & intensity with which Peter ravages the garden.... "

About the Authors

Helen 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.

Jim Weiss’ storytelling recordings have received the highest awards from the Parents’ Choice Foundation, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, and the American Library Association and have been widely praised in major publications across North America and internationally.
