The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter

In a quiet meadow beneath a towering fir, a mother rabbit tends to her four young ones—Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton‑tail, and the adventurous Peter. She sends the well‑behaved siblings out to gather blackberries while sternly warning them to stay clear of the dreaded Mr. McGregor’s garden, where their father met an unfortunate fate. The scene is set with gentle charm, inviting listeners into the bucolic world of rabbit families and the rustle of the countryside.

Peter, however, can’t resist the lure of the garden’s crisp lettuces and sweet carrots. He slips through the gate and begins a frantic feast, only to be spotted by the vigilant gardener brandishing a rake. A wild chase ensues, with Peter darting through rows of cabbages, tumbling into a net, and narrowly escaping a looming tool shed. The tension builds as he struggles to find his way out, his heart pounding and his blue jacket trailing behind him.
