Peter Rabbit (Unabridged‪)‬

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Go down a nostalgic rabbit hole with this collection of Beatrix Potter’s classic Peter Rabbit stories. These time-honored adventure tales introduce listeners young and old to whimsical characters like Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny. The stories are both delightfully silly and just the right amount of exciting, whether the grumpy fox Mr. Tod is losing his patience with the freeloading badger Tommy Brock or two incorrigible mice are taking up residence inside a young girl’s dollhouse. Emma Messenger’s exquisite narration gives distinct voices to a charming cast of characters. She conjures the mood of Potter’s fanciful stories so beautifully that we could practically smell Mrs. Rabbit’s chamomile tea and feel Peter’s heart pounding as he scampers out of Mr. McGregor’s garden. As comforting as a cup of hot cocoa, this audiobook makes a perfect family story time listen.
