青蛙吉瑞米先生住在池塘边金凤花丛中一间又小又湿的房子，每当他看见雨点打在池​​塘时，就感到快乐极了。一天，他准备去钓一些鲦鱼，邀请他的朋友托勒密议员和艾萨克牛顿爵士来家里吃晚餐。他穿着雨衣，搭着船来到了一处钓鱼的好地点。但是吉瑞米先生不但没有钓到鱼，手指被棘鱼扎伤，还差一点儿被大鳟鱼吃掉。所以他不能请朋友吃鱼了，幸好他的贮藏室里还有一些别的食物，所以他就用烤蚱蜢蘸瓢虫酱来招待朋友，而且吉瑞米先生认为那是相当好的招待了。

The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
