## Snapshot

Dainty rabbit of the Old Pasture, soft-eyed and particular about her coat, who cannot decide whether to follow Peter Rabbit home.

## Who they are

Little Miss Fuzzytail is the neatest rabbit in the Old Pasture, and she has never lived anywhere else. She loves Peter Rabbit, but the thought of leaving the only home she has known holds her back, even as her father Old Jed Thumper hunts him mercilessly. When Old Man Coyote's terrible voice rolls over the pasture one night, she crouches trembling in her hiding-place, and Peter finds her there the next morning, too frightened even to look for breakfast.
