An Apple Books Classics edition.
"…don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden." This warning, from Mrs. Rabbit to her children Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter, begins a tale that has become essential reading for all children, even more than 100 years after its first publication. In The Tale of Peter Rabbit readers root for Peter as he desperately tries to escape Mr. McGregor after ignoring his mother’s warning. The Tale of Benjamin Bunny sees Peter right back in the garden with his naughty cousin Benjamin, and this time they’ll need help escaping from the farmer’s fat cat. The Tale of Mr. Tod takes place when Benjamin is all grown up and married to Flopsy, Peter’s sister. When their babies are stolen to be made into a pie, it’s up to Peter and Benjamin to save them from both a fox—the terrifying Mr. Tod—and Tommy Brock, an unctuous badger. The Tale of the Flopsy Rabbits takes place when the rabbits are a little older and return to the McGregor farm. Needless to say, they, too, run amok of the angry farmer, risking their lives for a little lettuce. Luckily for decades of children, these hapless bunnies never learn.
This classically illustrated edition is perfect for revisiting old friends or introducing new ones to the beloved world of Beatrix Potter.
