Benjamin Bunny Gets Peter's Clothes Back

From The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, by Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter wrote The Tale of Benjamin Bunny in the early twentieth century. Her gentle animal stories have delighted children for more than a hundred years. This story follows The Tale of Peter Rabbit: Peter once lost his shoes and coat in Mr McGregor's garden, and his cousin Benjamin helps him get them back. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story rewards a child who is learning courage, loyalty and caution—and who enjoys a touch of peril overcome by cleverness and family help.
