It's springtime in the Lake District, and everyone is in the best of moods. The daffodils are blooming, the butterflies are fluttering, and Miss Jemima Puddle-duck has laid an egg! To celebrate, she decides to throw a party for the neighborhood. But there's a new neighbor in town, Sammy Whiskers, and Peter thinks he's up to no good. When Miss Puddle-duck's egg goes missing, will Peter be able to prove Sammy Whiskers is the one who took it? Or will all the neighbors turn against Peter?
Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.
A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
