Usually I am dead against dressing up animals in clothing because the indignity is unbearable and the smugness of their owners is incredibly punch-worthy (and I do not need any more persuading for that, thank you), but since my fondness of cats is barely in existence I would say if you vote for me, your party candidate, I will make it law for all cats and kittens alike to be dressed up like Tom Kitten.
Blue, frilly shorts; a waistcoat that barely fits and a wee straw hat; with their little paws sticking out like furry caterpillars: this shall be law and all shall obey. And it will be so fucking cute I might explode.
The story is almost inconsequential again, as with a lot of these little stories. They are there to help those with little academic prowess to build the world inside their heads, whereas those with little imagination have the drawings to help them colour that world.

I haven't read Beatrix Potter's tales before. Quick read -ok, but not my favourite.

Best illustrations out of the 4 books of Beatrix Potter that I've read.

A cute story about the kids getting all messy while waiting for their mom to have friends over for a dinner party. Very cute story. Enjoyable.

The Tale of Tom Kitten by Beatrix Potter -- Who can't relate to a pudgy kitten in uncomfortable clothes just trying to have fun? lol Happy Reading!

Compared to its sequel (and my all-time favourite Beatrix Potter book) The Tale of Samuel Whiskers this is perhaps a little bit disappointing, being nowhere near as creepily awesome. Taken on its own, however, it's a perfectly charming little book, even if the kittens unsurprisingly behave exactly as kittens do when dressed, by which I mean they are total disasters. (I still remember my younger sister trying to stuff a cat into a doll's dress. It did not turn out well for her; she should have recalled Tom Kitten.)

These are so nostalgic! I love Beatrix Potter so much, her story, her stories, her art, just, ugh. Since I was a kid.
