Thornton Burgess, Harrison Cady

The Adventures of Peter Cottontail

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform July 21, 2015)
In this delightful classic, Peter Cottontail (or Peter Rabbit as he was originally called) is up to his whiskers in rabbity escapades. With his gentle humor and charm, famed storyteller Thornton Burgess weaves his magic through the life of one of the most delightful characters in children's literature. The story is greatly enhanced by the original illustrations of Harrison Cady as young readers are drawn into the timeless world of the Green Forest, the Smiling Pool and the Purple Mountains. Warmth and whimsy fill the pages of this little book as Peter discovers for himself the folly of changing his name, outwits the ever-hungry Reddy Fox, manages numerous hare's-breadth escapes and tops it all off with an ill-advised decision to hibernate other woodland creatures do. The silliness of trying to do what nature never intended is one of the gentle morals of these adventures that blend the fun of a good story with short but impactful lessons about wildlife, the environment and being true to one's self.
