A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep."

Story
This book is about the good stuff. The wonderful inventions we now cannot live without - from high heels to tea bags, pencils to X-rays, each story is an amazing mix of luck and a whole lot of perseverance and hard work. Imagine what our hot summers would be without ice-lolly? The horrors of never tasting potato chips! What would we do without our quick-fix Superglue? We hardly give a thought to the many little things we use every day. Don’t you think it’s time we learnt about a few stories of origin? Where do they come from? Who invented them and how?

Great book!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales to be better than the print version?
Probably. The audio edition has musical and sound effects that makes it more fun to listen to. My toddler son loves to listen to this book. Whenever he's in the car I would ask him whether he likes to listen to music or story and his reply has always been "rabbit story". I have tried to play other books in the car but he would scream and wanted to hear this book instead.

new bedtime ritual for my little girls
I chose this audio book for my 4 and 6 year old girls as I thought they will soon grow out of these kinds of stories. It has become a lovely bedtime routine and my eldest has pulled out their hard back version to read along to. I do have to remember to collect the ipad or it'll play well into the night being 5 hrs plus!

Lovely recordings but shame about the metadata
The stories are classics and the recordings are great but the metadata is terrible. It's impossible to identify which story is which without waiting to hear the intro. Could Audible and/or the publisher please label the different tales by their names rather than as chapter 1,2,3 etc?

This isn't available so I feel completely ripped o
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Unfortunately I purchased (with a free voucher) this title only to discover AFTER the purchase it isn't an audible book even tho it was advertised as such. It seems too be a scam to get people to sign up.
Has Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales put you off other books in this genre?
No, the story is a good one but Audible books did not deliver.
Any additional comments?
Don't advertise and sell titles as audible books if they are not audible.
