The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher (Peter Rabbit)

Amazing!! Just like the origenals when they were first printed. I am so pleased with this book I WILL be getting the others that match, so I have the whole set. A++

You simply CANNOT go wrong with the tales of Beatrix Potter!!! Every baby who comes into my life's circle - family, friends, you name it - gets a copy of her complete tales. As I am 67 years young now, there have been quite a few. The only reason I checked "Some violence" is because of the unfortunate incident when Mr. Fisher caught the stickleback fish. I'm quite sure that it would not disturb most children (or other people) in the least. It's a story about nature, as all of Miss Potter's are, and nature does involve many things that some folks would prefer not to deal with.

This was a gift for my 14 year old granddaughter. When she was a 4 year old I would take her and her brother and sister to the library weekly over the summer. She almost always came home with this book and some others. It was her favorite. Now she just wants money for her birthday so I try to find interesting ways to hide money in a little gift. This was perfect!

Sent this as part of an Easter gift for the grandchildren. Goodquality, lovely graphics, and a great size for little hands. Veryhappy with the purchase.

My godson Vincent is 4yrs old and loves Beatrix Potter. His mom let me know that he has two books out of the set, but wanted more for Christmas. As a baby my room was decorated in Beatrix Potter so ordering these books was like reliving my childhood. They are basically the size of an adult hand, but hard cover so he can try to read and not ruin the book. I will definitely be ordering more for his collection!

Perfect! Brings back childhood memories. I loved this book then (1940s) and still love it now. My six year old self loved the character names. They roll off the tongue and are so fun to say. I loved that Mr. Jeremy could have wet feet and never be scolded. And I loved the danger, squealing every time even though I knew the outcome. I'm so glad these stories are still around.

This is, of course, a delightful story, because all of Beatrix Potter's are. Extremely sensitive children may be a little scared because [spoiler alert!] the title character gets swallowed by a fish, which, however, immediately spits him out. The illustrations are delightful. When you buy any story by Beatrix Potter, always get an edition with her pictures.

Mr Jeremy is as charming as ever.

Good book to start your collection

An old time favourite that stands the test of time which all small children love....as do the grannies that read them a bedtime story.Exquisite little watercolour illustrations and a simple storyline in poetic language.
