The Tale of Two Bad Mice (Potter)

The Tale of Two Bad Mice (Potter)

(6 customer reviews)

To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.

The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.

Magical Little Book Dec 11, 2003

I had this book as a child and thought I would never again set eyes on these wonderful illustrations by Beatrix Potter. I didn't even know the title of the book, only remember an untidy "lady mouse" character in the story named Hunka Munka. My husband suprised me with this book as an adult and seeing those beautiful illustrations swept me directly back to my childhood. I realised that I had never read the story, I had memorized the illustrations at an age before I could read.

This is a fabulous little book and the illustrations are so magical that they may stay embedded in a child's memory until adulthood. That's what happened for me and to this day, I treasure this book.

The Tale of Two Bad Mice Apr 28, 2000

When I was a girl, my mother read this book to me over and again. I remember begging her to read it to me, and when I was old enough reading it myself. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, including the "Two bad mice", and as in all Beatrix Potter books it is well written and a lesson is well learned. I am looking forward to reading this book to my own children (which is why I am on Amazon.com looking for it).

Mischievous Mice! Mar 15, 2010
By Darien Summers "Author of The Mischievous Hare, a children's book"
This is quite a funny tale about two frustrated thieving mice. In another one of Beatrix Potter's classics, animals are used to tell a charming tale, and instill a lesson at the same time.

When Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca attempt to steal food, they are justly not rewarded with their desired prize. In the attempt they create much mischief and make a big mess. They end up paying the victims of the mess back in the end, indicating their sorrow over their troublesome deeds.

A cute tale, that young animal lovers will enjoy.

hilarious story, great little book Mar 26, 2010
By Heidi E. Bollinger "Reader"
This is my favorite story by Beatrix Potter, even surpassing Peter Rabbit. Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb, the Two Bad Mice, are hilarious. Their antics made me laugh when I was four years old, and they still make me laugh today. I had to get this book for a friend's baby. This is a nice little edition of the book.
