When Peter Rabbit is invited to a housewarming party by one of the Three Little Pigs, a behind-the-scenes adventure begins to unfold. This collection of previously unseen letters from the land of make-believe offers us a rare and fresh glimpse into the lives of well-loved characters. Along the way, Goldilocks makes a much happier return visit to the Bears' house, finds Peter Rabbit's lost jacket, and befriends Little Red Riding Hood. This delightful tale of interconnecting friendships, written by Alma Flor Ada and enhanced by Leslie Tryon's detailed and engaging pictures, is sure to warm the hearts of young and old alike.

Little could I have imagined that a playful act to keep me awake one evening while driving home would result in the creation of a whole new world, the world of "Hidden Forest". Of course, it took the genius of Leslie Tryon to make it true. I'm frequently asked how I came up with the idea for Peter Rabbit. It happened without planning. Driving home, afraid to fall sleep while driving after a long day of classes, I would dictate into my tape recorder, notes to myself and to my students. Once, just for fun I started talking with the voices of pigs and wolves. Many months later, when I accidentally discovered the recording, I realized there was a book to be written.
I will always be thankful to Jonathan Lohnman for beginning the collaboration with Leslie Tryon. Dear Peter Rabbit has been followed by Yours Truly, Goldilocks, in Spanish Atentamente, Ricitos de Oro; With Love, Little Red Hen, and Extra! Extra! Fairy-tale News from Hidden Forest, in Spanish ¡Extra! ¡Extra! Noticias del Bosque Escondido.
What a marvelous adventure it has been to create this Hidden Forest world! And what a welcomed surprise that this book has been published in Korea, translated to the Korean language.
