"Dear Norah, I do not know what to write to you, so let me tell you a story about four little rabbits, their names are—Peter, Squeak, Floppy, and Benjamin."

For over a century, this mischievous and lovable rabbit—Peter Rabbit and his companions have one after another entered the childhood lives of millions of children with an irresistible charm. "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is a famous fairy tale that has been celebrated in the world of children's literature for a hundred years. This series of books was written by the British female writer Beatrix Potter over a period of more than 40 years. Potter's stories are equally strong in text and illustration. The illustrations she drew herself are light and elegant in color, with many details drawn from the farm where she lived, showing a delicate and realistic charm with a strong British classical style. Her language is concise, vivid, and full of rhythm, making it easy to read and pleasant to the ear. The characters in Potter's stories combine both human and animal traits, with rich imagination and exaggeration, making the children interested and reluctant to put down the book. Potter uses her pure and simple fairy tales to show children a world of nature and beauty. The book advocates virtues such as friendship, loyalty, kindness, and wisdom, and also tells children that being willful, naughty, rude, greedy, ignorant, or fighting is dangerous. The famous American children's writer and illustrator Sendak once said, "The enduring charm of Peter Rabbit comes from Potter's unwavering love for children and her professional drawing skills." Since 1902, the Peter Rabbit series has been translated into 35 languages and published in 110 different countries around the world, sowing seeds of love and beauty in the hearts of hundreds of millions of children. This book is dedicated to all the little friends who love McGreggor, Peter Rabbit, and Benjamin Rabbit.
