About this title

Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • One of the best-loved children’s picture books of all time, available as a mini hardcover for little hands! A classic tale that teaches the importance of making smart decisions, this edition features restored and never-before-seen illustrations!

Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were—
Flopsy,
Mopsy,
Cotton-tail,
and Peter.

So begins Beatrix Potter’s classic story of Peter Rabbit, a mischievous rabbit living with his mom and three sisters under the root of a fir-tree. When Mrs. Rabbit warns her children to stay out of Mr. McGregor’s vegetable garden, Peter decides to take his chances. But after Mr. McGregor finds Peter and chases him out, Peter must ask for help to get back home safely.

Featuring both restored and never-before-seen illustrations from acclaimed author Beatrix Potter, and with a valuable lesson at its center, The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a beautiful addition to every child’s library, and a worldwide classic that stands the test of time.
