The Tale of Benjamin Bunny is an original classic by Beatrix Potter. Peter Rabbit's cousin, Benjamin Bunny, has been a very popular character since this book's first publication in 1904. In this tale we hear all about his and Peter's adventures in Mr McGregor's vegetable garden, and what happens to them when they meet a cat! Even more frightening, is what happens to the two pesky bunnies when Old Mr Benjamin Bunny finds out what they have been up to! Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-duck, Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. With revenue from the sales of her books, Beatrix Potter bought a farm - Hill Top - in the English Lake District, where she later became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing and bedding, nursery decor products and collectables. Upon her death, Beatrix Potter left 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped and protected for future generations to enjoy. Today Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, activity books and gift and sound books. The Tale of Benjamin Bunny is number four in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.

My 2 year old loves this story she calls it, the bunny's friend book. She enjoys this story more than Peter Rabbit. I think that the story is more eventful than Peter Rabit; and it is nice that the bunnies get to finish their adventure. I have read hundreds of stories to my daughter and we both find this one enjoyable my 5 month old also seems to enjoy it. She likes the colorful pictures. I guess you could say that everyone is happy when this story is chosen. If you like Peter Rabbit you'll like Benjamin Bunny.
"Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were -- Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big tree."And so began one of the most famous, long lasting and beloved children's books of all time...The Tale if Peter Rabbit. Of course it did not end there and there were many other stories to follow; not only of Peter, but an array of wonderful characters all set in the whimsical world of Beatrix Potter.The Tale of Benjamin Bunny was published in 1904 and is a follow-up to the Tale of Peter Rabbit. Benjamin Bunny is traveling down a road when he notes that Mr. and Mrs. McGregor are leaving their home (and by the way, their garden). Of course Benjamin being Benjamin he immediately heads that way. He must go past his aunts Old Mrs. Rabbit's house, a widow, living with her children Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tale and Peter, his cousins. (It is interesting that in a later tale, sequentially anyway, that Benjamin marries his cousin Flopsy and they have a family of their own...reference The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (Potter)He spies Peter wrapped in a pocket-hankerchief and huddled by himself, and upon questioning him finds that he has lost his clothing to Mr. McGregor and they, the clothing, now cloth a scarecrow, "topped with an old tam-o-shanter of Mr. McGregor's. Well nothing will do but to invade the forbidden garden, rescue the clothing and of course, sample and take some of Mr. McGregor's fine harvest.Oh my, trouble begins and they soon find themselves trapped under a basket by a very fine and large cat...for five hours!Now as most of you know, I almost never include spoilers in my reviews, but suffice to say the two wayward little rabbits are finally rescued by Old Mr. Bunny, Benjamin's father, thoroughly chastised and leaving Mr. McGregor with a thoroughly confusing set of clues as to what happened to his cat and his garden.This is one book in a set of twelve Potter books published by Frederick Warne & Co., the original publishers of her work. They have been maliciously reproduced and both the text and the art work have stayed true to the original.Potter set the standard, and set it high, for children's books of the future; she is seldom if ever outdone.I suppose I like this story and it is one of my favorite as Benjamin sort of reminds me of when I was a little one, thrashings and all.This is a nice copy of a wonderful story my one of the great masters of children's literature.Don BlankenshipThe Ozarks
Full of fun and adventure, and a great companion to have with the tale of peter rabbit. While the tale of peter rabbit is full of mischief and adventure, this tale is full of adventure and teamwork (an important quality to instill in children. The book introduces a few more colorful characters to the series, and also gives peter a better ending than the last one!The illustrations are very captivating, and it's clear that much hard work went into them.As a writer of children's tales about rabbits, the peter rabbit series is by far my favorite. This book makes an excellent addition. I hope you and your young ones will enjoy it.Darien Summers, author of The Mischievous Hare, a children's book.The Mischievous Hare
Who can resist Beatrix Potter with her soft water color illustrations and adventurous but life-lesson stories? This book appears to be about a 10 minute read, but may take longer if your little one wants to study the delightful illustrations. It measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" so it is perfect for little hands to hold, or to stuff in your purse. It is a hard-covered book. I am excited to give this book along with Gund's stuffed Benjamin Bunny to my 1 year old grand daughter!
My son thoroughly enjoys this series. "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" is a particularly good story to read after the child becomes familiar with "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," which sets up this story of Benjamin Bunny and Peter Rabbit's visit to Mr. McGreggor's garden. The story itself is told in the same charming prose, using appropriate words that many of today's readers tend to avoid because they appear "too difficult." The series published by Frederick Warne, in particular, had the vision to size the book perfectly for small hands, allowing even the youngest "readers" to enjoy the story, whether it is read, or whether one studies the many delightful, detailed images that fit the text so well. I highly recommend this book, as well as the rest of the Beatrix Potter series published by Frederick Warne.
Beatrix Potter's books are classic! Great read for everyone.Note that there are no pictures in the Kindle version!
I have sent these books to Australia as a first birthday gift for my great niece in New south Wales. They have arrived safely and my niece said they are charming and just as we all knew about long ago. They are very pleased with them and little Clancy will be listening to the stories at bedtime.
