The Tale of Tom Kitten

Three little kittens, one garden party, and a very difficult set of clothes! Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit expects important guests for tea, so she washes and dresses her three kittens—Mittens, Tom Kitten, and Moppet—in their very best finery. She gives them a strict warning: keep your clothes clean and stay away from the garden! But Tom Kitten is a "growing" boy, and his buttons are already under a great deal of strain. Once the kittens get outside, the temptation of the garden wall and the arrival of some very curious Puddle-Ducks lead to a hilarious series of wardrobe malfunctions. Will the kittens manage to stay presentable for the tea party, or will they find themselves sent to bed while the Puddle-Ducks make off with their best Sunday clothes? Beatrix Potter’s classic tale of feline mischief and the trials of dressing up, featuring charming new illustrations.
