The Tale of Peter Rabbit

Four little rabbits live beneath the roots of a great fir tree, cared for by their sensible mother. Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail listen when she warns them to stay away from Mr. McGregor’s garden—but Peter, the most adventurous and mischievous of the family, cannot resist slipping beneath the gate.

Inside the garden, Peter enjoys a tempting feast of vegetables until he is discovered by the furious gardener. A frantic chase follows through cabbages, potatoes, bushes, and a tool shed, as Peter loses his shoes, snags his jacket, and searches desperately for a way out. Along the way, he encounters curious garden creatures and narrowly avoids one danger after another.

With its gentle humor, lively pacing, and charming animal characters, this classic story captures the excitement—and consequences—of disobeying a warning. Young listeners will delight in Peter’s daring escapade while appreciating the cozy warmth of his woodland home.
