Welcome to the ageless world of the Green Forest, the Smiling Pool, and the Purple Mountains! There, you’ll meet a rabbit named Peter who one day became so unhappy about his plain-sounding name he decided to change it to Peter Cottontail because he felt it made him sound more important. He began putting on airs to live up to his important-sounding name, but after much teasing from his friends, he soon returned to his original name because, as he put it, “There’s nothing like the old name after all.”
Journey along with Peter and all the little meadow and forest creatures in this whimsical tale as told by famed storyteller Thornton W. Burgess. This childhood classic will delight children of all ages.
