From one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors: The timeless story of a mischievous bunny and a very angry gardener. If there’s one thing Peter Rabbit’s mother has always told him, it’s to stay away from Mr. McGregor’s vegetable garden—or else he might end up becoming a pie like his poor father. But while his obedient sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, go smartly down the lane to pick blueberries, Peter has ideas of his own, and he goes off snacking on tasty lettuce and radishes from Mr. McGregor’s garden. He’s about to learn that not listening to his mother can lead a young rabbit into a whole lot of trouble. As it has for more than a century, The Tale of Peter Rabbit continues to enchant children throughout the world with its sweet story, gentle lessons, and beautiful illustrations.
