青蛙吉瑞米先生住在池塘邊金鳳花叢中一間又小又濕的房子，每當他看見雨點打在池​​塘時，就感到快樂極了。一天，他準備去釣一些鰷魚，邀請他的朋友托勒密議員和艾薩克牛頓爵士來家里吃晚餐。他穿著雨衣，搭著船來到了一處釣魚的好地點。但是吉瑞米先生不但沒有釣到魚，手指被棘魚扎傷，還差一點兒被大鱒魚吃掉。所以他不能請朋友吃魚了，幸好他的貯藏室里還有一些別的食物，所以他就用烤蚱蜢蘸瓢蟲醬來招待朋友，而且吉瑞米先生認為那是相當好的招待了。

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.
