May 06, 2015One morning a little rabbit sat on a bank. He pricked his ears and listened to the trit-trot, trit-trot of a pony. A gig was coming along…

May 28, 2015As soon as they had passed, little Benjamin Bunny slid down into the road, and set off—with a hop, skip, and a jump—to call upon his…

May 29, 2015That wood was full of rabbit holes; and in the neatest, sandiest hole of all lived Benjamin’s aunt and his cousins—Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton…
6
June 29, 2015Little Benjamin did not very much want to see his Aunt. He came round the back of the fir-tree, and nearly tumbled upon the top of his…

July 29, 2015Peter was sitting by himself. He looked poorly, and was dressed in a red cotton pocket-handkerchief.

August 29, 2015“Peter,” said little Benjamin, in a whisper, “who has got your clothes?” Peter replied, “The scarecrow in Mr. McGregor’s garden,” and…

September 29, 2015Peter said he hoped that it would rain. At this point old Mrs. Rabbit’s voice was heard inside the rabbit hole, calling: “Cotton-tail…
10
October 29, 2015They went away hand in hand, and got upon the flat top of the wall at the bottom of the wood. From here they looked down into Mr. McGregor’s…
11
November 29, 2015Little Benjamin said: “It spoils people’s clothes to squeeze under a gate; the proper way to get in is to climb down a pear-tree.” Peter…
12
December 29, 2015They left a great many odd little footmarks all over the bed, especially little Benjamin, who was wearing clogs.
13
January 29, 2016Little Benjamin said that the first thing to be done was to get back Peter’s clothes, in order that they might be able to use the pocket…
14
February 29, 2016Then he suggested that they should fill the pocket-handkerchief with onions, as a little present for his Aunt. Peter did not seem to be…
15
March 29, 2016Benjamin, on the contrary, was perfectly at home, and ate a lettuce leaf. He said that he was in the habit of coming to the garden with his…
16
April 29, 2016Peter did not eat anything; he said he should like to go home. Presently he dropped half the onions.
17
May 29, 2016Little Benjamin said that it was not possible to get back up the pear-tree with a load of vegetables. He led the way boldly towards the…
18
June 29, 2016Presently Peter let the pocket-handkerchief go again.
19
July 29, 2016They got amongst flower-pots, and frames, and tubs. Peter heard noises worse than ever; his eyes were as big as lolly-pops! He was a step or…
20
August 29, 2016This is what those little rabbits saw round that corner! Little Benjamin took one look, and then, in half a minute less than no time, he hid…
21
September 29, 2016The cat got up and stretched herself, and came and sniffed at the basket. Perhaps she liked the smell of onions! Anyway, she sat down upon…
20
October 29, 2016She sat there for five hours.
23
November 29, 2016I cannot draw you a picture of Peter and Benjamin underneath the basket, because it was quite dark, and because the smell of onions was…
24
December 29, 2016At length there was a pitter-patter, pitter-patter, and some bits of mortar fell from the wall above. The cat looked up and saw old Mr…
25
January 29, 2017Old Mr. Bunny had no opinion whatever of cats. He took a tremendous jump off the top of the wall on to the top of the cat, and cuffed it off…
26
Invalid dateWhen old Mr. Bunny had driven the cat into the greenhouse, he locked the door. Then he came back to the basket and took out his son Benjamin…
27
March 29, 2017Then he took out the handkerchief of onions, and marched out of the garden.
28
April 29, 2017When Mr. McGregor returned about half an hour later he observed several things which perplexed him. It looked as though some person had been…

May 29, 2017When Peter got home his mother forgave him, because she was so glad to see that he had found his shoes and coat. Cotton-tail and Peter…
