The Story of Miss Moppet

From The Story of Miss Moppet by Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated The Story of Miss Moppet in 1906, part of her beloved series of animal tales. Potter was a keen observer of animals and drew them with personality and charm. This story shows a playful contest of wits between a kitten and a clever mouse, where trickery goes both ways. Young children enjoy the reversals, the suspense and the satisfying escape — no one is hurt, and the underdog wins.
