The Tale of Benjamin Bunny

Wendy Rasmussen has taken the traditional Beatrix Potter story and retold it adding her own illustrations. In this  story,  Benjamin Bunny finds his cousin, Peter huddled in poor clothing outside of Mr. McGregor’s garden. Benjamin convinces Peter to go back into Mr. McGregor’s garden to get his clothes back. Among adventures eating the garden, getting trapped under a basket with a cat on top and getting rescued by the old Mr. Benjamin Bunny, the two rabbits end up safe and back at Peter’s rabbit hole. This is the original story, just with new illustrations. It is in a larger size than the traditional Beatrix Potter books, but I find that to be part of their charm. Really the pages look so similar, with a large amount of white on the page and a similar style of illustrating, there is little difference between this and the original book.
