Peter Abbitt and the Big Flood

Peter Abbitt and the Big Flood Synopsis

As the second book in the Peter Abbitt series, Peter Abbitt and the Big Flood tells the story of how flooding can impact a community, and how Peter—the horse who thinks he’s a dog—uses his unique talents to save the day! After a flood swells the river to unstable levels, Peter Abbitt the horse finds a group of people unable to cross the river and in need of food and supplies. He and Mr. Abbitt are afraid to cross the bridge with milk and food, until Peter spies a cat on the other side of the river. Still convinced that he’s a dog who should chase cats, Peter the horse bolts after the cat and successfully crosses the bridge. He brings the much-needed supplies to the folks on the other side, and he and Mr. Abbitt are named heroes—all because of a cat! Peter Abbitt and the Big Flood teaches children about a historic flood and emphasizes the importance of kindness and individual problem-solving. Young readers will be engaged and entertained with this silly story about a horse who saves the day by acting like a dog.
