Confusing item.
Published by Teacher , 1 year ago
Switch between the different options (hard bound, paperback, etc. and like new, and good) and you see different titles. This is probably an easy fix for your, but still confusing to your customers. I still haven't heard back from when I first pointed this out. I ended up getting a wrong title (Tailor of Gloucester) when I ordered Tale of Peter Rabbit. Fortunately, I had earned a free book and ordered the replacement with that.
Christmas story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
My family has read this book every Christmas Eve out loud since 1903 - never missed a Christmas. It is one of our family traditions and each child as they have grown up has gotten their own copy to read at their house. I remember my dad reading it, I read it to my kids, and now they are reading it on Christmas Eve too. My grandparents and then me much later even had a striped cat named Simpkin, A wonderful atory with beautiful illustrations.
My favorite of the B. Potter books

It's such a sweet story, and the illustrations on this book are particularly lovely. I recommend it for you or a young friend.

It would be almost impossible to pick a favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, but if I had to, this would be it. The story and the artwork combine to make a perfect children's (or adult's)book.
A classic for slightly older children
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is my favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, and I probably read all of them as a child. It's ideal for a slightly older child. A very sweet story of a tailor, his cat, and a group of mice who save his business when he is too ill to work.
