Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

The voices of six British actors and actresses lend themselves beautifully to Beatrix Potter's classic tales. Their voices are varied and expressive without making them cartoon characters. Clear, slow enunciation and careful pacing make this a perfect introduction for even the youngest listeners. Original music by Carl Davis adds a sprightly air.The original illustrations on the jackets add recognition. Other stories available are MRS.TIGGY-WINKLE AND FRIENDS and THE ADVENTURES OF PETER RABBIT AND OTHER FAVOURITE TALES that includes standard favorites about Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny and Squirrel Nutkin, as well as some less-well-known characters and verses.

This review is from: The Adventures of Tom Kitten: And Other Favourite Tales (Classic, Children's, Audio) (v. 2) (Audio Cassette)

My daughter loves the tale about Tom Kitten and his sisters, Moppet and Mittens. Their mother dresses them in fancy clothes for a tea party but the kittens mess-up and lose their clothes. It reminds me of when I was a young girl, and didn't quite enjoy wearing stiff, fancy clothes. The antics of animals dressed in clothes appeals to the younger children.
