To celebrate the opening of my Etsy store (and by the way, I just posted new books on there today and marked some books down, and remember, buy four books or more and get a mystery book free!), and to usher in the holiday season, this week's Great Monday Give is gonna be a whopper. A set of ten books from the Beatrix Potter Tale of Peter Rabbit collection. (Somehow Jeremy Fisher didn't make it in the shot, but it's included as well.) Slightly oversized compared to the original small editions, these books are in like new condition, perfectly suitable for under-the-tree gift giving. All you have to do to be in the running to win these kids' classics is comment on this post before midnight CST ~ Sunday ~ Nov. 23. The winner will be announced the following day.
That said, the winner of last week's Give .... Petunia... is TRUPEACH, a southern belle after my own Carolina girl heart. (I grew up in Pawley's!)

Oh, I REALLY want this one!
I'd love to have these!! I LOVE your blog!!! Thanks for the chance!
You are so generous! We our big Beatrix Potter fans here. My daughter's first room was done is Beatrix Potter. I highly recommend the movie Miss Potter starring Renee Zellwegger. Thanks again!
What a BIG giveaway! Can you believe we don't have any of these? I'd be so excited to win! :)

I would LOVE to win! Like you, Beatrix Potter is my all time favorite author.
I can't wait to introduce my daughter to Beatrix Potter- what a fabulous giveaway!
Ooooo--I love this one! My two 2yo's are just getting to the age for me to introduce them to Peter Rabbit and the gang.
I love these books! I remember in kindergarten we did a Peter Rabbit play.
Wow. That's the only word for it. My baby would love (projecting a bit here since she's 2 months old) this collection!
I'm so glad you made clear about Jeremy Fisher -- that's my girl's favorite! What a great give.
Oh I covet! For the sake of this fish-baby in my belly, please let me win!
Oh how I love me some Beatrix Potter! Thank you for being so generous and thank you for this blog...I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I love old children's books and some new ones too, but more than anything I love sharing them with my son Zade. He just turned three and he loves to read with me. Thanks to you and thanks to Green Jello for turning me onto your wonderful blog!
oooo those look wonderful. They would make a great holiday gift! :-)
These would be great! Thank you for doing such a great blog. I have to search the state library for the books that I find here but it is worth the effort. My son really enjoys these books! gvktiger@hotmail.com
Oh, I just love this collection. How wonderful!
We are expecting our first child and have tons of nieces and nephews that these books would be perfect for! What a great idea!
Wow, 10 books!!! This would be as good as Pop Corn and Ma Goodness :)
OH! What a fantastic give away! I love these!
It's so great to see all these people commenting! You've hit the big time, scribbler.
thanks ben.... does that mean you want in on the give this week!?! yea!!!!!!
I just discovered your blog last week and I love it! This giveaway is amazing.
oh, we are such big beatrix potter fans in our house. for a while our daughter wouldn't stop talking about miss moppet!
What a FABULOUS giveaway!!!! My little girl is a huge animal lover, and I just know she would adore Ms. Potter. I'm a Mrs. Tiggy Winkle fan all the way. *smile* I thought of this blog while thrifting the other day and walking home with a bag of books on each arm- one for me, and one for the munchkin.
Oh my goodness!!! Oh my goodness!!!
If only... If not, Have a great day anyhow... :-)
I'd love to win this! My daughter's name is Beatrix, and when she was quite small she chewed all of our Beatrix Potter books beyond the point of readability...
My girls love the small size of these books, which we often check out from the library. We own a compliation edition, which is fine, but not read as often.
I love Beatrix Potter and would love to win these! I'm so glad to find your blog.
I can't believe I haven't read the Beatrix Potter books to my kids. We would love to win such a wonderful collection!
Pretty please?
Oh - my memory bank instantly pulled up the "files" on how the slick shiny paper felt in contrast to the navy cloth covers of these wonderful wonderful books. And now I want to get my kid an oversize tam with a big pom-pom on top.
My granddaughter, Cecelia Jane, would love to have these read to her!
Wow how exciting! Fingers crossed!
Wow--that's a lot of books. I love The Tailor of Gloucester. There's a jazzy folk song/dance that goes with it that my students performed last year.
Love your blog and your new Etsy shop!
I know it's too late to win these but I was reading through your blog and saw this post and absolutely had to comment.
I received this set of Beatrix Potter books when I was born. They were read to me so much that by the time I was four I had every word and page turn memorized. And even so 23 years later they are in absolute mint condition. I adore them so.
This blog is wonderful. I love vintage children's books.
