Nutkin and Old Mr. Brown is lovely. Don't play with Nutkin. You are so impertinence.

The pictures are cute, but the natural science is a bit iffy, and Squirrel Nutkin is not likeable.

Potter should have observed the rule of threes here rather than going on and on with the riddles.

Quite simply one of the greatest of all time
Whenever I read this (after having forgotten the story after a few years break), I also have the sense of foreboding that whilst the other red squirrels are collecting acorns, but Squirrel Nutkin is playing boule with pinecones or similar - that the end of the story will be him starving in Winter, for not having made the appropriate Autumn preparations.
That, or that Old Brown owl will suddenly turn.
But no - it's a simpler cautionary tale - you can be quite naughty, for quite a long time, but you'll eventually be caught out!
