The Tale of Tom Kitten (1907)

Random and boring. ( )

This is a very cute book with great alliteration and repetition. When I was younger I absolutely loved it and loved looking at the pictures. It is very fun for children to chant the little sayings along with you.

When I was a child, I loved the Beatrix Potter stories, and was somewhat able to relive my childhood through this book. Tom Kitten is a very curious little kitten, and is always finding ways to get in trouble. Of course, those ducks aren't much help either!

Nice hardcover board book of the original story

Cute and sweet and all that stuff. The classic, of course, is Peter Rabbit. but Tom Kitten is in the same vein - though Peter is considerably more active than Tom, who mostly seems to follow his sisters around. Nor is there any sort of moral to this one - except maybe that mothers who want their children to look good for guests shouldn't send them out unsupervised in their good clothes! Glad I read it, don't need to ever read it again. ( )
