The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit

From The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) wrote and illustrated this picture book in 1906 for very young children. It is a simple moral tale: a fierce, greedy rabbit takes what he wants and learns a sharp lesson. Potter's stories are known for their gentle humour, clear consequences, and respect for a child's understanding of fairness. This reader reflects the era in which it was written; the language has been lightly modernised where needed.
