The tale of Benjamin Bunny
Beatrix Potter
- Reading
- Pause after Benjamin proposes the return and ask what each cousin might be hoping for. Afterwards, compare those guesses with what the story actually shows.
- Themes
- Persuasion and choice: Benjamin persuades Peter to return to the garden for clothes Peter lost there. The outline establishes the persuasion and decision, but not whether the story approves of or criticises that choice.
- Worth knowing
- The central errand takes the cousins back into Mr McGregor’s garden. The outline gives no detail about what they encounter there or whether the return becomes frightening.
