A little about the story
Peter slips into Mr McGregor's garden and discovers how difficult it can be to get back out. The story turns a warning about obedience into a brisk chase.
Peter's success in getting into the garden makes his uncertainty about the way out funnier. The quick changes of hiding place give a short story enough movement for a child to follow the chase through words and pictures.

You’ll enjoy it if you like
- short read-aloud books
- illustrated chases
