Definitely my favorite overall Potter book. (

I have only read one other book by this author before reading The Tale of Tom Kitten. The pictures are adorable, the story is cute, and I think younger children and their parents would enjoy reading about the naughty deeds of the three kittens in the story. (

A mother cat hopes in vain to keep her kittens clean and well dressed for a tea party. She does not take into consideration the nature of kittens. (

A classic tale about three naughty little kittens. The small book size is perfect for small hands, and the story is perfect for short attentions. Part of a collection of Peter Rabbit Books by Beatrix Potter. (

I like these books mostly for having seen Miss Potter, but the little kittens are adorable and of course I love the paintings. (

Book description

Tom and his sisters look so smart in their new clothes. When their mother sends them outside while she waits for her visitors, she couldn't possibly guess what kind of mess they are going to get themselves into!
