Believe it or not this is the first Beatrix Potter book I have ever read. It was an absolute delight from start to finish.
THE STORY OF MISS MOPPET is the cute story of a cat name Miss Moppet who's been played by a mouse. Their antics could only remind you to the famous cartoon series Tom and Jerry.

It's a very short story, equip with beautiful water-color illustrations for your enjoyment and to help nurture the children's imagination. Cute plot and good for a quick read.
This is an adorable classic story of a mouse who gets the best of a cat. It is a short story and so has place for a younger audience who might not want to sit long
Excellent one for kids who just started to read. Short sentences and easy words. lovely illustrations, as usual.
A very short, short story for very small children or beginning readers. Little kitty Moppet matches wits against a rude mouse. Who wins? You be the judge.
A Tom-and-Jerry-type of story involving cat and mouse antics. Well, more specifically, a little kitten and a very intelligent mouse. A very cute and quick read.
Tried out some children's' stories on Audible. This one was very brief and didn't really work in audio format.
