Tom Kitten – Tom was very naughty!
The Beatrix Potter storybook, ‘The Tale of Tom Kitten’ was first published in 1907.
The eleventh of the little tales, ‘The Tale of Tom Kitten’, sees Tom and his sisters, Moppet and Mittens, dressed in their finest clothes ready for a visit from their mother’s guests. After being sent to the garden to amuse themselves, the kittens fail dismally at keeping their clothes clean and tidy, eventually losing them to the passing Puddle-Ducks.
