Book Synopsis

Peter Rabbit is used to being an only bunny, so he gets quite a surprise when not one, not two, but three baby rabbits join the family!

Set in Beatrix Potter's animal world, this story deals with all the experiences and emotions of having a new brother or sister. At first, Peter isn't sure how he feels about his new siblings. Mrs. Rabbit has thought of names for two of them: Flopsy and Mopsy--but it's Peter who gets to choose the third one! That's a big job for a small bunny.

These gentle, reassuring board books deal with relatable early-life experiences with familiar and lovable characters everybunny is sure to relate to.

About the Author

Beatrix Potter was born on July 28, 1866 at No 2, Bolton Gardens, Kensington, London. She loved nature and drawing as a child. In 1893, Beatrix sat down to write a picture letter to Noel Moore, the five-year-old son of her ex-governess, all about a naughty rabbit called Peter. Noel was ill in bed and so Beatrix wrote to him: "My dear Noel, I don't know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits...." And that's how The Tale of Peter Rabbit was created. It wasn't until 1902 that Frederick Warne published what would become one of the most beloved stories in children's books.
