First published in 1902, Peter Rabbit is a young rabbit who lives with his mother and siblings, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, in a cozy burrow under a large tree. Peter is best known for disobeying his mothers warning to stay away from Mr. McGregors garden, where his father had an unfortunate run-in with the farmer. Despite this, Peter sneaks into the garden, where he feasts on vegetables until he is spotted by Mr. McGregor. A frantic chase ensues, with Peter narrowly escaping after losing his jacket and shoes. Peter Rabbits character is charmingly naughty, and his adventures are often light-hearted yet filled with gentle lessons about the consequences of not listening to parental advice.
