In this story, two very naughty mice named Hunca Munca & Tom Thumb steal just about everything they can get their paws on, from a dollhouse owned by two dolls, Lucinda & Jane. The mice originally go into the dollhouse and try to eat the ham and fish and other food, but realizing that it's all made of plaster, Tom Thumb has a tantrum and breaks everything! Then they go on to steal furniture: the cradle, the bird cage, pots, pans & clothing. Good Grief!  annashapiro | Oct 16, 2009 |  Absolutely without a doubt a fabulous story - favourite phrases are: "at least it belonged to Lucinda, but she never ordered meals." Right...and that makes a lot of sense to someone I'm sure and... "They would not come off the plates, but they were extremely beautiful." A dieter's dream! "-all so convenient!" "Then Tom Thumb lost his temper." - said with great emphasis..... followed swiftly by... "Then there was no end to the rage and disappointment....." sounds like my house.... and to top it all off.... "Jane leant against the kitchen dresser and smiled...." as all dolls do.... (  ) alexdaw | Jul 21, 2009 | One of my personal all-time FAVORITE books. How could you not love a couple of pilaging mice who throw temper tantrums and then feel bad and try to make up for their naughty ways. ( ) paroof | Feb 25, 2007 | Two dolls live in a lovely doll house, but when they are away, two mice break and steal half the things! The nurse sets a mouse trap as a punishment of their naughtiness. They make up for it a little bit by giving the dolls money and cleaning their house every day.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0723205965, 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.
