The Tale of Peter Rabbit

Mother said stay out of the garden. He went anyway.

McGregor is already in there, and he knows about rabbits. Lettuces. A shoe. A blue jacket caught in a net. Peter came for lunch; now he cannot find the gate. Potter keeps the chase short and the danger close. Even the watering can is a bad idea.

It is a small book. It is not a soft one. Don’t go in.
