Description
Burgess follows Peter Rabbit's search for a mate in Mrs Peter Rabbit, opening with Peter losing his appetite. Chapters send Peter planning a journey, watch Hooty the Owl change hunting grounds, and follow a shadow with sharp claws into the old pasture. Peter stays lonesome, finds tracks, meets an unpleasant surprise, and almost decides to return home before his quest resolves.
Young readers find woodland neighbors, seasonal dangers, and gentle lessons about patience and courage. Burgess writes in short chapters suited to bedtime, with animal characters who think and feel in human ways. The book suits early readers and read-aloud families, and it continues the Green Meadow world that made Burgess a favorite children's author.
