Peter Rabbit #26
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue opens with a Peter Rabbit story in which Peter and his friends are frightened by a large lion on a movie screen showing a new wide-vision film, then transitions to Cicero the Private Eye investigating a jam theft by disguising himself as a salesman and attempting to recover the stolen goods. The issue also includes a fairy tale adaptation of "Blockhead and the Princess," about a merchant's simple but kind third son competing with his two clever brothers to win the king's daughter by choosing his words carefully, and concludes with a story featuring Snowy Joey in which authorities mobilize trucks, planes, and infantry to hunt down a dangerous snowman that has escaped into the snow.
When Peter accidentally ends up behind the wheel of a used car he never meant to buy, he and his passenger Dazy are in for a wild, chaotic joyride through town—complete with traffic-dodging mishaps and a crash course in driving he definitely doesn't know how to handle. After the car eventually breaks down, the pair takes shelter in what appears to be a deserted farmhouse during a rainstorm, only to discover it's far from empty when mysterious figures start appearing in the darkness. It's a rollicking comedy of errors that builds from one comedic disaster to the next, with plenty of slapstick surprises waiting around every corner.
Cicero the private eye takes the case when jam goes missing from the kitchen—with a threat of a cat hanging over his head if he can't catch the culprit. Armed with fingerprints and a couple of clever disguises, Cicero closes in on his prime suspect, a little mouse named Timmy, only to discover the real thief is closer to home than he thought.
Sparky Smith and Cheeta find themselves on the run from a mysterious Indian tribe—but when they decide to investigate rather than flee, they uncover something far more sinister than an unknown frontier people. With the truth exposed, Sparky must outsmart the real culprits before they silence him and his companion, all while a ghost town becomes the unlikely battleground for justice.
When a lonely boy named Algy finds himself lost and hungry, he builds a snowman for companionship—only to have his wish for a living friend come miraculously true. Now Freddy the snowman must stay one step ahead of the Snow Removal Department while helping Algy find his way home, leading to an unexpected Christmas reunion and a heartwarming lesson about friendship.
