Book details

The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies
Description
In The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, Benjamin Bunny and Flopsy are the parents of six young rabbits called the Flopsy Bunnies. The story details how the Flopsy Bunnies, while searching for food in a rubbish heap of rotting vegetables, fall asleep and are captured by Mr. McGregor, who places them in a sack. Fortunately, they are freed by Thomasina Tittlemouse, a woodmouse, with the help of Benjamin and Flopsy who fill the sack with rotten vegetables instead. This tale, a continuation of the stories of the characters from The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, was created by Beatrix Potter, who, despite being weary of rabbit stories, recognized their popularity among children.
