COMING UP ON STORYTIME SUNDAY
NEW SERIES
1/4 - The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Sunday 2nd December
The story focuses on a family of anthropomorphic rabbits. The widowed mother rabbit keeps her four rabbit children, Peter, Mopsy, Flopsy and Cottontail from entering the vegetable garden of a man named Mr. McGregor. Her triplets (Mopsy, Flopsy, and Cottontail) obediently refrain from entering the garden, but Peter enters the garden to snack on some vegetables. Peter ends up eating more than what is good for him and goes looking for parsley to cure his stomach ache. Peter is spotted by Mr. McGregor and loses his jacket and shoes while trying to escape. He hides in a watering can in a shed, but then has to run away again when Mr. McGregor finds him and ends up completely lost. After sneaking past a cat, Peter sees the gate where he entered the garden from a distance and heads for it, despite being spotted and chased by Mr. McGregor again. With difficulty, he wriggles under the gate and escapes from the garden, but he spots his abandoned clothing being used to dress Mr. McGregor's scarecrow. After returning home, a sick Peter is sent to bed by his mother, and his triplet sisters receive a scrumptious dinner of milk and berries whilst Peter has a supper of chamomile tea.
