Peter loses his shoes and his new blue jacket, hides in a watering can and gets lost before he finally finds the gate again and runs home.","Peter Rabbit is a short story with a clear chain of events: a warning, a mistake, a chase and a safe return. That makes it easy to follow even when a word is new. The estimated level is B1 rather than A2 because the sentences are long for a children's book (about 13 words on average) and the garden is full of specific words such as radishes, gooseberry net and sieve.
