    About this ebook

    FOR ALL LITTLE FRIENDS OF MR. MCGREGOR & PETER & BENJAMIN


    It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is "soporific."
    I have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then I am not a rabbit.
    They certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!

    When Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had a large family, and they were very improv-ident and cheerful.
    I do not remember the separate names of their children; they were generally called the "Flopsy Bunnies."

      Love Beatrix Potter for early readers! I am reading this to my preschool aged son, and it is a welcome change from many of the more modern picture books. It actually introduced him to some new words, which is something I often cannot say about a children's book.
    • 4/5
      I like this one. The bunnies did something. The bunnies ate the garden, some lettuce in McGreggor's garen. I did like it. Then they go back to nap. The end.
    • 5/5
      This is a story of Benjamin Bunny little children, who are mostly known as the "Flopsy Bunnies" who went to Mr. McGregor's rubbish heap and found lots of overgrown lettuces. Astound with their find, they decided to eat their fill but ended up sleeping soundly after they are full. Unfortunately for them, they were discovered by Mr. McGregor who puts them in a bag so he could sell them off. Thomasina Tittlemouse comes to the rescue and the bunnies are replace with whatever they could find.I absolutely love the traditional water-colored illustrations depicted in this the pages of this book. The story itself is a wonderful cute tale for children to enjoy as well. The plot is simple but it attracts the kids when you read it to them, with of course a couple of "gasps" moments in between the pages. Otherwise, I'm sure to put this book in the list of books I love to read to my young kids to.
    • 5/5
      Summary: This book is a sequel to the Peter Cottontail books. This follows Benjamin Bunny and his cousin Flopsy and their six baby bunnies. They are captured by a human and put in a sack but manage to escape and replace the contents with rotten vegetables.Personal connection: I love the continuation of the Peter Cottontail books and like how cunning the six bunnies were.Class use: Have students draw what they think the bunnies house looks like.
    • 5/5
      A great story with some darkness. Kids need more of that!
    • 4/5
      I remember reading Peter Rabbit as a child, so its nostalgic for me. I liked the illustrations for the books as well. They were warm, colorful, and made me feel at home.
    • 5/5
      This is a really good children book the pictures are beautiful and the story has a good, if somewhat stong, lesson in it. I believe children will love this book.
    • 5/5
      The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Xist Illustrated Children's Classics) Classic tale of Peter Rabbit and his bunny family. He wants what is in the farmer's gardenalthough his mother has warned him never to go near it. He can not resist and he gets caught....Great photos and story.
    • 4/5
      The classic tale illustrated with Potter's illustrations. Mother knows best!
    • 3/5
      This is a short story to teach a lesson to children. I suggest it be told to young children.
    • 3/5
      I kind of don't know why this is a big deal--it's a cute enough story, but are we really supposed to be riveted by how "naughty" Peter is and how he's stepping out of rabbit-nursery into rabbit-Ypres? We're not Edwardians anymore.
    • 5/5
      The tale of a curious and naughty bunny; complete with adventure, loss, danger, friendly helpers, a near escape, a resigned mother, and a moral ending. You don't get the berries and cream when you misbehave, only chamomile tea for naughty bunnies.This is all stated without judgement on the author's part, nor are there any lectures. Just a sweet story with lovely illustrations. This particular book was given me by my grandmother, Charlotte, when I was two years old. It has always been a favorite of mine.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this one a lot more than I was expecting to, and so did my little boy. He gasped as he saw Peter sneaking into Mr. McGregor's garden, and looked at me with fright: "But, he'll be made into pie!?" A simple little story, full of action and delight, the pictures so lovely, and just the right length for bedtime reading.
    • 5/5
      Great book for children ( and grown-ups!) with fabulous pictures.
    • 3/5
      Not too much to it without the illustrations. The Raggedy Ann stories were better. They stood up well even without the illustrations.
    • 5/5
      This is the story of a family of rabbits. After the mother has warned her son Peter not to go into the vegetable garden, he disobeys her and does. Students will love reading this classic novel and learning what happens next.
    • 4/5
      The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a story about four little rabbits who lived with their Mother. Mother left the children to go to the baker's and told them not to get into mischief, and especially don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Peter Rabbit's siblings went down the lane to gather blackberries, but Peter went straight for Mr. McGregor's garden. He ate lettuce, french beans, radishes and when he was looking for some parsley, he ran into Mr. McGregor! Mr. McGregor chased Peter and Peter got trapped in gooseberry net. Some friendly sparrows helped Peter out of the net and he wandered around the garden trying to find his way out. Peter eventually found his way out and ran all the way home without looking back, but he had lost all of his clothes.This story shows that there can be consequences to your actions and that you should follow the rules. Each student could re-create their favorite scene from this book by drawing it out and write one sentence explaining why they chose that scene.
    • 3/5
      The Tale of Peter Rabbit is the quintessential cautionary tale, warning children about the grave consequences of misbehaving. This was my first reading of the book and I can't shake the feeling that Peter is really caught by Mr McGregor, and that the second half of the book is a mere dream sequence of being skinned and made into a pie. I don't have any evidence to back me up other than I found the story of Peter's father foreshadowing.
    • 5/5
      This book can be used for cause and effect because when Peter Rabbit ate the vegetables he got in trouble by his mom for disobeying. This could also teach students to about obedience.
    • 5/5
      Another classic tale about a little rabbit name peter who learns a lesson the hard way. Certainly a must read!
    • 4/5
      A cute story of a rabbit who takes chances in his quest for food. A good book to use when teaching about plot and sequencing. Also can be used to teach cause and effect.
    • 4/5
      Peter Rabbit diobey's his mother and goes to Mr. Mcgregor's garden where he has a huge adventure running away from Mcgregor and loosing his coat and shoes. When Peter returns home he is sick and put to bed and misses out on blackberries which the others are eating. The pop up added to this story as it let you be interactive with the story.
    • 3/5
      The illistrations are the best part of the book, but the story is good too. I never read this book as a child, but I see why it's so popular. It's simple and sweet and there are cute little rabbits that dress in human clothing.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this little tale about a young rabbit named Peter. Before going out, Peter's mother warned Peter and his siblings about not going into Mr. McGregor's garden while she was gone. Peter being the mischievous rabbit that he was, ignored his mother's instructions and ventured off to Mr. McGregor's garden anyway. After roaming around the garden and eating some lettuce, he was spotted by Mr. McGregor. Mr. McGregor went crazy and chased little Peter all over the garden. Eventually Peter made a great escape and ran straight home where he passed out from exhaustion. Peter felt terrible and went to bed. His mother didn't know what happened to him, but she gave him some medicine as he went to bed.
    • 4/5
      I remember loving this as a child, particularly the cat by the pond. It's still a great 5-minute read when sleep appears elusive.
    • 5/5
      A true classic! This book reminds me of why I love children's books.
    • 5/5
      A little rabbit who has made his way into the hearts of so many children and adults alike over the years. Delightful.
    • 5/5
      This book is about Peter Rabbit. His mother told him not to go to Mr. McGregor's garden but Peter is a bad rabbit so he went and was seem ny the farmer and was chased and lost all his new clothes and ended up in a watering can and he ended up with a cold sick in bed.
    • 3/5
      Not a fan of this edition, and yes I know it is a classic, but I feel too long for storytime. Naughty Peter Rabbit gets lost in Mr. McGregor's garden.
    • 5/5
      In this book Peter rabbit lives with his mother and sisters flopsy and mopsy cottontail. The wear clothes and live in a burrow near Mr. McGregor's garden that they are not allowed to go into because that's where their father disappeared. Peter sneaks into the garden and gets caught by Mr. McGregor. As he tried to escape he leaves his jacket and shoes behind which Mr. McGregor uses as a scarecrow in his garden. Peter tried to go back and get his things but becomes ill and his mother takes care of him by giving him tea and never letting him go to the garden again. A very good book for students to learn lessons and read a classic book.
