Read first 4 pagesThe opening of The Tale of Benjamin Bunny: A Gentle Retelling, free to read.
One morning a little rabbit sat on a bank, listening. Trit-trot, trit-trot! Below, a pony cart rolled by. Mrs. McGregor wore her best bonnet; Mr. McGregor held the reins.
That little rabbit was Benjamin Bunny. He was off to visit his cousins in the wood. Once the road was clear, away he went, with a hop, skip, and a jump!
Under the fir tree sat Peter, droopy and alone, in nothing but a red handkerchief. Oops! His cousin Benjamin nearly tripped over him. Benjamin was glad it was not his aunt, Peter’s mother!
