It''s a sunny afternoon and the Rabbit family are having a picnic.

The pond is sparkling in the sunshine and Peter wants to build a raft - all by himself. He soon finds it''s quite tricky without some help. Luckily his sisters are there to lend him a hand.

This charming summer tale has a reassuring message about learning to ask for help. Eleanor Taylor''s humorous illustrations of Beatrix Potter''s well-loved characters mirror young children''s early experiences.
