Great! submitted by ashflowtuff on August 14, 2011, 11:24am My kids love all the Beatrix Potter stories!
Great Story submitted by 23lisq on July 17, 2013, 7:40am This is another great Beatrix Potter story. My kids love it.
Cute story kids will love submitted by dimuziom on June 12, 2015, 10:33am Beatrix Potter is famous for her classic children's stories with good reason. They all have cute animals who act a little bit like people, which kids almost always love, and while the stories are simple and short, the characters are still engaging. The "two bad mice" get up to some mischief, which is another thing kids usually enjoy, but they aren't all bad. Rather than the morality play or "lesson learned" type of trope, this is more to do with the fact that they are (slightly) complex characters, which is rare in more modern children's books. I find that her books are a bit more enjoyable for adult readers to read than the average picture book at any rate.
A favorite Beatrix Potter story submitted by FordAlpha on July 21, 2018, 9:52pm This was perhaps my favorite Beatrix Potter story when I was a kid, likely because I sympathized with the mice's destructive impulses--and because it's quite funny. My kids loved it too, and we read it many times before returning it to the library. The action takes place in a well-appointed dollhouse, and Potter seems to delight in the ironic contrast between the static poses of the dollhouse's legitimate occupants, Lucinda and Jane, and the lively action of the larcenous interlopers, Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca. Potter's narrative voice is a wonderfully droll deadpan, and the illustrations of the mice interacting with the dolls' possessions are exquisitely posed.
