Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Peter Rabbit lived with his mother and his sisters "underneath the root of a very big fir-tree". Who was NOT one of his sisters?

Answer: Topsy

Everyone in Peter's family was a brown rabbit with a white tail. Mrs. Rabbit dressed her daughters in red coats and Peter in a blue jacket.
2. While Mrs. Rabbit was out, Peter's sisters, "who were good little bunnies, went down the lane" and gathered which treat?

Answer: blackberries

Before Mrs. Rabbit went out to the baker's she told her children that they could play in the fields and the lane, but NOT in Mr. McGregor's garden. Peter's sisters were "good little bunnies" and got to eat their blackberries for supper.
3. Peter, "who was very naughty, ran straight to Mr. McGregor's garden". What were the first things he ate when he got there?

Answer: lettuces, French beans, and radishes

In the illustration, Peter looked absolutely delighted to be stuffing himself with Mr. McGregor's vegetables.
4. After Peter's feast, Mr. McGregor spotted him. What did the farmer cry out?

Answer: "Stop thief!"

When Mr. McGregor saw Peter he chased after him with a rake, and for a moment it seemed as though Peter might be baked in a pie, like his father.
5. Peter had almost escaped from the garden but his jacket got caught in a gooseberry net. Who helped him get out of this pickle?

Answer: some friendly sparrows

Although there are birds in a number of the illustrations, this is the only time any of them actually helped Peter.
6. Peter escaped from Mr. McGregor by running into the tool-shed. Where did he hide? (Maybe this wasn't the best choice he could have made).

Answer: in a watering can full of water

A watering can might have been a nice place to hide, but the water made Peter sneeze, "kertyschoo", and so Mr. McGregor discovered him.
7. After escaping from the shed, how did Peter find his way out of the garden?

Answer: He climbed onto a wheelbarrow and saw the gate.

Wet and unsure where to go, Peter hopped, "lippity-lippity", around the garden. He met a mouse and a cat, but he eventually had to find the gate himself.
8. What happened to the little blue jacket Peter lost in the gooseberry net?

Answer: Mr. McGregor used it to make a scarecrow.

Peter lost two shoes as well as his jacket, and Mr. McGregor used all of these to make a scarecrow.
9. When Peter finally made it home, why was his mother cross with him?

Answer: He had lost his clothes.

Not only had Peter lost his clothes, it was the second time he had done this in two weeks!
10. Peter's sisters ate the treats they had collected for supper, but what did Peter have?

Answer: chamomile tea

Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail looked as if they enjoyed the blackberries, but I'm sure the tea was very good for Peter, wet and exhausted as he was.
