A sweet story about sharing, springtime celebrations, and a gentle message about the importance of friends.

This is the fifth title in a new series of stories for the very young set in Peter Rabbit''s world. The simple tales mirror important early experiences and emotions of young children through the eyes of Beatrix Potter''s most well-loved characters, while Eleanor Taylor''s illustrations are filled with charm and humour.

Beatrix Potter is one of the world''s best-loved children''s authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.

A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
