Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Other Stories
Beatrix Potter & T. Burgess · 2011
🎙 Narrated by Jim Weiss
70/100
👍 Worth It
Jim Weiss is a genuinely trusted hand with classic children's storytelling, and pairing Peter Rabbit with Burgess-style animal tales gives this real substance beyond the usual bedtime filler. Some archaic 1900s phrasing may need a grown-up's help along the way, but between the source material and Weiss's reputation, the listen is worth it.

🎙 Narration: good Jim Weiss is known broadly for warm, theatrical single-narrator family storytelling, though no review specifically covers his performance on this Potter/Burgess pairing.
