Miss Moppet is certainly one of the cutest of all the Beatrix Potter books. I love the illustrations and recommend this book to any Beatrix Potter fan. Miss Moppet would also appeal to most cat lovers out there. As always, it includes a useful moral to the story.

This review is from: The Story of Miss Moppet (Potter 23 Tales) (Hardcover)

"The Story of Miss Moppet" is very cute. It revolves around Tom Kitten's sister, Moppet, and a Mouse. The Mouse teases Miss Moppet behind a cupboard and when she jumps she just misses him and ends up bumping her head on the hard surface. She ties her aching head up in a duster, while the Mouse comes out to make sure she is alright and then... This tale has an amusing end and makes a good bedtime story for toddlers. They will especially like the illustrations of the adorable kitten and the last picture of the quick-minded Mouse.

I have a number of these Beatrix Potter stories and I love them all. This is one is particularly good for very young children. My 13 mo old can wait for the sentence or two on each page, then help turn the page and get through it without too much impatience. Cute story, too, of course.
