3.0 out of 5 starsLatest edition; poor quality vs previous Printed in Italy edition :(
By Peter on September 7, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I received this edition having previously purchased Potter series books with white covers and printed in italy. This printed in China edition makes for a very sad comparison.

The Italian editions are nothing short of beautiful. The paper is smooth, every illustration has better contrast; the colors are richer. The typography on the cover, first few pages and the binder just looks better. The font sizes and arrangements are chosen perfectly.

At the same time the Canadian and UK price printed on the book have gone up a dollar and a pound respectively. US price stayed the same. A little strange when the Canadian dollar has been appreciating over the US dollar over the period.

Potter's books are a national treasure; it's so sad to see the publisher's so blatantly cash in by reducing their costs and at the same time putting up the price. Ka-ching.

I have many beautifully produced Printed in China books. It's nothing against China per se. But the quality control on this edition vs. the previous one is just not there.

Tip to readers: look out for the previous edition with a white cover, printed in Italy. A far superior product.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
By V. Charbonneau on November 2, 2000
Format: Hardcover
The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is one of my favorite Beatrix Potter stories along with The Tailor of Gloucester and The Tale of Ginger and Pickles. It is the story of a rather mischievous young squirrel named Nutkin who loves to tease old Mr. Brown, the owl who lives on an island filled with nut trees. The little rythmes and verses Nutkin recites throughout the story are absolutely delightful. The illustrations are one of Ms. Potter's finest---filled with wonderful detail and color. Some might be offended by the way Nutkin is punished by old Mr. Brown---mainly by having his tail torn off, but if one thinks about it that is the way owls behave in nature. Ms. Potter never honeys things over and her tales always remain a joy to read. Children should not miss out reading this humorous tale.

5.0 out of 5 starsA very good book
By A Customer on March 17, 2002
Format: Hardcover
The story of Squirrel Nutkin who is a very disrespectful and rude and provocative squirrel who gets taught a very tough lesson. Learning is not alway painless. Learning is not always pleasurable or fun. This is a fact of life.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Interesting Tale, Told with Wit
By Darien Summers on March 14, 2010
Format: Paperback
In this beautifully illustrated children's tale, a lone, disrespectful, but rather smart squirrel puts an old owl's nerves to the test. In an attempt to gain favor with an owl (Mr. Brown), all the other squirrels except Mr. Nutkin bring Mr. Brown food offerings everyday in exchange for permission from him to gather nuts on his island. Mr. Nutkin brings Mr. Brown nothing but sarcastic riddles.

In the end, the Mr. Brown captures Mr. Nutkin, and when Mr. Nutkin tries to escape, his tail is cut in half. A little violent, but obviously nothing excessive.

I believe this book teaches the importance of polite manners.

Mr. Nutkin's riddles are also very thought provoking.

5.0 out of 5 starsSquirrel's Tail Tale
By Dr. Peter W. Carter on April 11, 2007
Format: Hardcover
Squirrel Nutkin was one of the finest and most imaginative of Ms Potter's stories and the only one I place above it is the Tale of Peter Rabbit. Nutkin is the name of a cheeky and insolent squirrel who thinks far too much of himself until he is caught by an Owl who has both patience and wisdom as he endures many insults from Nutkin. At last he reacts and it appears that it is the end for the impudent squirrel. At the last moment he escapes from the owl's home when his tail breaks in two and he scurries off to safety. He is left with a partial tail as a reminder to mind his manners in the future. An important correction is necessary regarding this owing to an error in an above review. Nutkin did NOT chew his tail off to escape and I invite the reviewer to actually read the book so she understands this important point. This is a wonderful story for young children with many inportant messages. My own children greatly enjoyed these tales when they were young and still talk about them from time to time. There is a reason why Beatrix Potter's books remain among the best selling childrens books of all time. Her stories and the lessons therein are timeless and the moral absolutes are of critical value at a time when our anything goes culture is in chaos and espouses the worst behavior possible. It is truly refreshing and hopeful that brilliant childrens tales written in 1903 still have much to teach us in 2007.

4.0 out of 5 starsyou have to love Beatrix Potter
By EmilytheStrange on June 12, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
this one is for the older kids. My daughter doesn't quite seem able to understand the insolence and disrespect. But it explains a familiar character in the BP books and it'll someday hopefully be the basis of some good conversations.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy Kids Loved This Book
By Steve Taylor TOP 500 REVIEWER on August 17, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
How can one go wrong with a Beatrix Potter story and for such a great price? I picked up a bunch of these short stories to read to my youngsters while we were on vacation. No need to carry a fifty pound bag of books on the road any more. The Kindle solved the problem with flying colors. If you haven't grown up with these books you'll love reading them to your children. Mine can't get enough. Since this is a short story I'm not going to give a synopsis here but just believe me when I say you can't go wrong. If you prefer a paper copy of this story and other Beatrix Potter books I highy suggest: [...]

Definitely not what I was expecting. Probably my own fault in that regard but a poor story that's difficult to make much sense of with a very anti-climatic ending.
