The Tale of Peter Rabbit, written by Beatrix Potter in 1902, is a classic children’s story perfect for Grade 5 students. The tale follows Peter Rabbit, a mischievous young rabbit who lives with his mother, Mrs. Rabbit, and siblings, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, in a burrow under a fir tree. Mrs. Rabbit warns her children not to enter Mr. McGregor’s garden, where their father had an “accident” and ended up in a pie. While his siblings obey and pick blackberries, Peter sneaks into the garden, tempted by its vegetables. He gorges on lettuce, beans, and radishes but is soon spotted by Mr. McGregor, who chases him with a rake. Peter loses his jacket and shoes in the chase, narrowly escaping through a fence but getting trapped in a watering can. Exhausted, he finally escapes the garden, returning home sick and scared. Mrs. Rabbit puts Peter to bed with chamomile tea, while his well-behaved siblings enjoy bread, milk, and blackberries. The story, with its simple language and vivid illustrations, teaches obedience and the consequences of mischief in 191 words, aligning with Grade 2 comprehension and offering opportunities for descriptive writing in Hindi or English.
