British Voice for British Bunny

Peter Rabbit is one of my childhood favorites, and Emma Messenger only makes it better. Loved how she draws out the words when this "naughty" rabbit is stuck under the fence. How she portrays him panting, and losing hope. Excellent performance, good pace, clear and comprehensible. Should be easy for children to visualize the story, picturing Farmer McGregor, the encouraging birds, the "good" bunnies at home under the tree.

Beatrix Potter. Famous British author, illustrator, and naturalist. A century ago, she really had a mischievous rabbit named Peter, according to the official BP website. He napped in front of her fireplace on a blue blanket. Hence, his fictional facsimile wears a blue jacket.

Well, he did have a blue jacket, until today, when he got caught stealing greens in Mr. McGregor's garden.

beautiful retelling of an old favourite

Emma Messenger's beautiful voice.

What other book might you compare Peter Rabbit to and why?

Good Dog Carl by Alexandra Day. Children are thrilled by stories of naughty escapades so long as there is a happy outcome.

What about Emma Messenger’s performance did you like?

The pace and pauses made it very easy for little children to follow.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Old favourite exquisitely retold.

A Favorite Childhood Story

A favorite childhood story well read. I especially liked the narrators voice and accent. It seemed to fit well with the story. It’s a short story but I would recommend it. I think it was very enjoyable.

Do not purchase

This is only one story and is only 8 minutes long. Don’t make my mistake and purchase it. Look around and find one that has multiple stories.

Only 8 minutes long

Way too short. Only 8 minutes long?
Narration is good, unfortunately too short and not worth the credit.

The title said “collection”

I will probably end up asking for a refund because I was under the impression there was more than one story. I guess I should look more at the length of the book as this one was only eight minutes and it’s only the first story. The title and cover art is very misleading.
