Collection of two short Beatrix Potter stories with the author's classic illustrations. The first story is a classic cat-and-mouse chase, that, as other readers have pointed out, would be right at home as a bit from a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

The second story involves a rabbit bully who ends up getting some comeuppance.

Considering these stories are very short, the author manages quite a few plot twists and reversals, even if the characters follow the expected tropes. The illustrations are charming.

Beatrix Potter is a world famous illustrator and author. This book was short, simple and heavy handed in its morale. Bad animals have bad things happen to them.
