The Tale of Benjamin Bunny: The original and authorized edition

…little Benjamin Bunny slid down into the road, and set off—with a hop, skip, and a jump—to call upon his relations, who lived in the wood at the back of Mr. McGregor's garden.

Do you know a naughty little rabbit called Peter? Well perhaps you do, but have you met his cousin, Benjamin Bunny?

When Benjamin Bunny goes to visit his cousin Peter Rabbit he finds Peter feeling very sorry for himself, his mother is cross with him for leaving his coat and shoes in Mr McGregor’s garden and now, to make matters worse, Mr McGregor has hung them up as a scarecrow.

Well Benjamin Bunny has seen Mr and Mrs McGregor go out for the day and he has a plan to get Peter’s clothes back but two little bunnies can easily get themselves into all sorts of trouble.
