Kitty appears to be a well-behaved black cat, but when her owner is not looking she pulls on a pair of boots and takes up an air-gun. Leading a double life as a bold night-time hunter, she crosses paths with Peter Rabbit and other familiar characters, and her escapades do not always go as planned.

This pocket-sized collection gathers quick, musical verses about familiar Beatrix Potter animals, beginning with a nimble mouse named Appley Dapply who nibbles from a pantry after dark. It is best dipped into in tiny snatches, like a plate of small sweets.

Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse is a tidy little woodmouse who spends her days sweeping tunnels and polishing tiny furniture.

Now parents themselves, Benjamin Bunny and Flopsy take their six young bunnies to Mr. McGregor's rubbish heap to nibble overgrown lettuces. When the soporific leaves send the little ones fast asleep, Mr. McGregor scoops them into a sack, and only clever Thomasina Tittlemouse can gnaw them a path to freedom.

Ginger the cat and Pickles the terrier run a village shop that is always busy because they allow everyone unlimited credit. Their kind hearts and poor arithmetic mean the till stays empty, and eventually the shelves are bare, forcing them to close while more hard-headed neighbours take over the trade.

Restless Tom Kitten wanders up into the rafters of his house and blunders into the lair of rats Samuel Whiskers and Anna Maria. They butter and wrap him up like dough for a roly-poly pudding, while his frantic mother and friends race to cut through the floorboards in time.

Little Lucie, searching for lost handkerchiefs in the hills above her farm, finds a tiny door leading into the warm kitchen of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, a hedgehog washerwoman. As Lucie helps with the laundry for all the valley animals, the visit feels part homely chore, part gentle magic.
