比得兔 英文版经典童书

比得兔的原型来源于英国作家暨插画家波特小姐给家庭教师儿子的一系列信件。五岁的小男孩卧病在床，无法外出，波特小姐便用比得兔的故事陪伴和鼓励他。绘本一经问世便广为流传。后来，美国童书作家 Thornton Burgess 和插画家 Harrison Cady 为比得兔谱写续章。

"I like to think that Miss Potter gave Peter a name known the world over, while I with Mr. Cady's help perhaps made him a character."

— Thornton W. Burgess

本书简介

比得兔最近没有胃口，全是因为他太孤单了。于是，比得兔开始探访老朋友。在途中，他也认识了很多新朋友。最重要的是，他遇到了自己的真爱。

Something is definitely wrong with Peter Rabbit ... he has no appetite! Deciding he is terribly lonely, Peter sets off to visit some friends in the Old Pasture but instead finds himself narrowly escaping the clutches of Hooty Owl, experiencing a nasty encounter with Jed Thumper (a big gray rabbit) and eventually staring right into the soft, gentle eyes of Miss Fuzzytail. Before you know it, Peter has a new bride!

Children will love sharing the adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Rabbit as they start a new ― and often precarious ― life together in the Dear Old Briar-Patch. As they enjoy the story, youngsters absorb gentle lessons about nature, wildlife, and simple human virtues.
