The Tale of Peter Rabbit

by Beatrix Potter

Peter Rabbit ignores his mother's warning and sneaks beneath Mr. McGregor's garden fence in search of vegetables. The adventure becomes a frantic escape through a maze of tools, watering cans, and a farmer determined to catch him. Peter loses his shoes and jacket but returns home to the safer comfort of family and warm chamomile tea. Crisp, mischievous, and beautifully economical, this nursery classic is perfect for springtime reading about curiosity, consequences, and the relief of making it home after a very small adventure.
