Mercer Mayer, who wrote the helpful stories, was born in Arkansas, USA, and raised in Hawaii. His wordless, humorous picture books stimulate the reader's imagination. Two books contain four stories. The Peter Rabbit books are three in number: The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. I believe all of these books will nurture children's dreams. The covers have some damage, but the books themselves are not so damaged. I hope that those who don't mind this will purchase them. Thank you for looking.
