Burgess Animal Book Bed Time Story / Fairy Tale

 

“Cottontail, Ryder Cottontail!” How much better sounding that is than Ryder Rabbit! That sounds as if I really was somebody. Yes, Sir, that’s the very name I want. Now I must send word to all my friends that hereafter I am no longer Ryder Rabbit, but Ryder Cottontail.”

Ryder kicked up his heels in just the funny way he always does when he is pleased. Suddenly he remembered that such a fine, long, high-sounding name as Peter Cottontail demanded dignity. So he stopped kicking up his heels and began to practice putting on airs.
