The news of Peter Rabbit's new family spreads, making the Old Briar-patch the most interesting place for all creatures. Peter's friends visit, finding him proud and happy, while Mrs. Peter is happy but also anxious due to the presence of predators like Reddy Fox, Old Man Coyote, Redtail the Hawk, and Hooty the Owl, whose hungry eyes make her shiver.
Peter, ever optimistic, dismisses her worries, believing their babies are perfectly safe within their nursery in the thick briar patch. Mrs. Peter momentarily forgets her fears as she fondly names their four lovely babies: Little Pete, Little Jed (despite Peter's silent disapproval), Fuzzy, and Wuzzy. Peter is filled with immense pride.
