The Adventures of Peter Rabbit – Little Rock
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-Tail and Peter Rabbit are bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready to romp. But before sending them off to explore the wide-wide world, Mother Rabbit gives each of her little ones a kiss and a pinch and a stern word of warning: “My dears, you may run and play in the fields or by the brook or down the lane, but whatever you do, don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden.” And so begins a day of mischief and adventure for one naughty little bunny—Peter Rabbit.
