      This story has the usual enchanting paintings by Potter, but the tale is odder than usual, and might actually frighten small children into being scared of rats that make kittens into puddings by rolling them in pastry.A lot of the words describing ordinary household items of Potter's day will be largely incomprehensible without adult help.
    • 4/5
      Tabitha Twitchet has three very naughty kittens, Moppet, Mittens and Tom Kitten; whom she keeps on loosing tracks on. One day, they went missing once more, but as she search high and low, she could only find Moppet and Mittens. Tome however, didn't go missing, but merely hiding in the chimney only to be captured by a enormous Samuel Whiskers. His wife begins to prep up the ingredients to turn the terrified Tom into a "Kitten dumpling roly-poly pudding"This is a cute story, with quite a plot that could turn and twist your kids in gasping suspense. Aid with beautiful illustration to aid your children in nurturing them with absolutely healthy imaginations. I actually enjoy reading this as well.

    First published 1908

    (Originally published in U.S.A. as The Roly-Poly Pudding)

    Once upon a time there was an old cat, called Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit, who was an anxious parent. She used to lose her kittens continually, and whenever they were lost they were always in mischief!

    On baking day she determined to shut them up in a cupboard.

    She caught Moppet and Mittens, but she could not find Tom.

    Mrs. Tabitha went up and down all over the house, mewing for Tom Kitten. She looked in the pantry under the staircase, and she searched the best spare bedroom that was all covered up with dust sheets. She went right upstairs and looked into the attics, but she could not find
