Perfect for little hands, each sturdy board book delivers an abridged version of a beloved Potter classic, from Peter Rabbit's garden escapade to the Flopsy Bunnies' drowsy lettuce-patch nap.

About the Books
This five-volume board book box set gathers some of Beatrix Potter's most cherished tales, each one abridged and resized into a sturdy, rounded-corner board book that is easy for small hands to hold, carry, and chew-proof against eager toddlers. The Tale of Peter Rabbit opens the collection, following the naughty little rabbit as he sneaks into Mr. McGregor's garden against his mother's warnings and narrowly escapes capture among the cabbages and radishes. The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher sends readers pond-side with a frog in a mackintosh who sets out for a fishing adventure that takes an unexpected turn. The Tale of Benjamin Bunny reunites Peter with his cousin Benjamin as the two bunnies creep back into the garden to retrieve Peter's lost shoes and jacket. The Tale of Two Bad Mice follows Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca as they invade a dollhouse and discover its food is nothing but plaster. The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies rounds out the set as Peter's sleepy young cousins wander into Mr. McGregor's garden, nibble on soporific lettuces, and doze off right where danger lurks. Each story is paired with Charles Santore's rich, painterly artwork, giving these century-old tales a fresh, vivid visual life while keeping Potter's original charm and gentle moral lessons intact. Packaged together in one tidy box, the set is designed for repeat read-aloud sessions, nursery shelves, and early literacy milestones, making it an ideal introduction to classic children's literature for the youngest readers in the family.
