The Great Big Treasury of
Beatrix Potter

About the Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter

Within this one book are the well-loved classics of Beatrix Potter--19 in all. Included are The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Miss Moppet, Mrs. Tittlemouse, Mr. Jerima Puddle-Duck, and Ginger and Pickles, among others. Perhaps what makes Beatrix Potter's stories so beloved are the humorous yet humanly-realistic plots. These are "lively tales of determined little creatures who have places to go and things to do. Her characters possess the same toughness that she had--an acceptance of how things must be. In her stories, mice are always on the lookout for cats and owls; rabbits must learn to outsmart irritable gardeners whose wives make excellent rabbit pies; and big fish are always ready to have little frogs for dinner."

Each tale is 10 or so pages in length, including the very generous, beautifully crafted illustrations. Because the stories are relatively short in length, they make perfect bedtime reading or stories for toddlers whose attention span is short.
