The action in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, by Beatrix Potter, takes place immediately after that in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Benjamin, who is Peter's cousin, goes to visit Peter and finds him all wrapped up in a red handkerchief; Peter's clothes are missing, since he has lost them in Mr. McGregor's garden.

This is a sequel to Peter Rabbit. Peter's cousin, Benjamin Bunny, managed to convince Peter to go back to Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden to get his (Peter's) coat back.

Once they were there, however, Benjamin couldn't stop gorging on the veggies. Then the Cat showed up and chased the two rabbits. Just when they thought they were trapped forever, Benjamin's father showed up and saved them. ...more

This is probably the second best-known of Beatrix Potter's wonderful rabbit stories. In this one, naughty Peter Rabbit and his cousin Benjamin again sneak into Mr. MacGregor's garden and get themselves into dangerous trouble with the cat. They are rescued by Benjamin's father. Beautifully illustrated, this classic story has been loved for good reason. The cat is dangerous, the bunnies foolish and lovable, the father heroic and brave, and the warm home scene allows the reader a sigh of relief...more

I liked this sequel to Peter Rabbit better than the original. As always the illustrations were awesome, but I particularly found Peter wrapped in the handkerchief adorable. I liked how you could see that Peter had learned his lesson, and I also liked the part with the cat (especially the italics used on "for five hours."

Beatrix Potter is a master, of course. Her drawings of animals and vegetation are fabulous. My little kids are so intrigued by these stories and imagining this all. The cat sat on the basket with two bunnies underneath for five hours! Wow, what creativity and fun story-lines!

A classic story from Beatrix Potter. I don't remember these from my childhood and I've found that they are much too wordy and mature for the youngest audiences and much too childish for the older ones. I'm not sure who the perfect audience is, but I like the stories myself.

More sentimentality from my bookshelf while flipping through this battered, pocket-sized copy (circa 1932) that I've had since a child. O, bittersweet passage of time!

Mr. McGregor's puzzlement is the best part.

"Old Mrs. Rabbit was a widow; she earned her living by knitting rabbit-wool mittens and muffetees (I once bought a pair at a bazaar.) She also sold herbs, and rosemary tea, and rabbit-tobacco (which is what we call lavender)."

Yet another book bought as part of a boxed set for my eldests Christening many years ago... this book, along with the others, was the favourite Potter tale of the youngest of my children.

The sequel to the first in the series and the one in which Peter Rabbit gets his clothes back with his cousin, the title character.
