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. ( )

I really liked this book because it was a pop up book and so kids would really like that.

Mrs. Tabitha Twitchett has dressed the kittens up in preparation for her tea party, but her children can not stay looking nice! They soon loose their clothes, which are stolen by the puddle ducks. After getting in trouble they have to spend the afternoon upstairs. ( )

Classic childrens story with beautiful water colour illustrations. ( )

Fairly dull tale of kitteny mischief. In its favour, the pictures are lifelike as usual, at least as far as clothed bipedal animals can be. And I did learn the word "tucker" (item of clothing). ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0723247773, Hardcover)

To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.

The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
