About this book

Benjamin Bunny, Peter Rabbit's cousin, finds Peter sitting sadly in a red handkerchief, because his clothes are still on the scarecrow in Mr McGregor's garden where he lost them. The two little rabbits slip back into the garden to fetch them, and Benjamin cheerfully fills the handkerchief with onions as a present for Peter's mother. But a cat appears and sits on the basket under which they are hiding, and only the arrival of old Mr Benjamin Bunny, Benjamin's fierce father, can save them.

Context and significance

Beatrix Potter published the story in 1904 as a sequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and its pictures were drawn in the gardens of a house near Keswick, in the Lake District countryside she loved. It is one of the best-loved of her little books for small children.
