Product ReviewsPeter Rabbit Ser.: The Tale of Tom Kitten by Beatrix Potter (1987, Hardcover)

Cat Tale

The problem with both kittens and kids is that they are often getting into trouble, despite your best care-giver efforts. This book still resonates with me now that I am just the "staff." In the story, Tom and his sisters are indeed very naughty and poor mother cat has visitors, too. How embarassing! Of course, there is a gentle lesson for the young reader - to behave properly and do as you are asked. This book can certainly be read by a young reader or shared with them by a parent. A great way to learn to read.

Beatrix Potter's tales(esp: Peter Rabbit and Tom Kitten) remind me of the grief my siblings and I put my mom through when we were youngsters. Alas, I also remember that time as a special time because Mom spent time with me reading these little stories. And what great and interesting stories, too. The pictures were interesting, too.

I bought this book because I like cats, love her illustrations, and am a fan of Beatrix Potter, in general. I have a couple of her other tales which I found at a rummage sale. That "find" got me interested in checking out some of her other tales. Her stories are fun to read and I can understand why they are still so popular today. Beatrix created an entertaining world when she wrote for her family and I am glad she chose to shared that world with the rest of us.Read full review...
