## Snapshot

Timid meadow mouse who lingers after the other callers leave, risking the long way home to warn Peter Rabbit about Old Man Coyote.

## Who they are

Danny is one of Peter Rabbit's truest friends, small enough to hide in a corner of the Old Briar-patch and wise enough to know when not to go home. He waits until the other visitors have gone, then stands on his hind legs to whisper that Old Man Coyote is the most dangerous enemy they have. Peter laughs off the warning, but Danny's quiet fear plants the doubt that shadows Peter through the chapters ahead.
