The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Children who love animals of all kinds, and especially insects, will love the Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse. Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse is rather obsessed with cleanliness. She is constantly sweeping and dusting. Unfortunately for her there are a variety of unwelcome guests that invade her tidy home: a beetle, a ladybug, a spider, a butterfly, a group of bumblebees who have made a nest in her storeroom without permission, and a most unpleasant toad named Mr. Jackson who never wipes his feet and creates a terrible mess. However there is a happy ending to this story. The watercolors are beautiful---I particularly like the one of Miss Butterfly tasting the sugar. If your young ones have a dislike for creepy crawly creatures, then this story might not be for them, but I have always found Beatrix Potter's tales delightful and unique, and The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse none the less so.
Editorial Review:
Thomasina Tittlemouse is a very tidy housekeeper, even with yards and yards of passageways to sweep and dust each day. And with a succession of beetles, bees, spiders, and a friendly toad adding to the clutter, her work is not easy. A delightful tale, illustrated with 27 of Miss Potter's timeless watercolors.
