But the untidiness was something dreadful—“Never did I see such a mess—smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown—and marks of big and little dirty feet— all over my nice clean house!” In The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse, Mrs Tittlemouse’s only wish is for her house to be clean and tidy, however, all her unexpected guests are not helping her at all. So they handed him out acorn cupfuls of honeydew through the window, and he was not at all offended. Mrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch cherrystones and thistle-down seed for dinner. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I really— really should like—would be a little dish of honey!”

SUCH a funny house! There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge. These adorable little animals, while small in size, have strong personalities, charm, and flaws.

Mrs Tittlemouse takes pride and joy in her housekeeping, but unexpected guests turn her home into a mess (She’s the Monica Gellar of Potter’s animal-world).

Mrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dishcloth, to wipe his large wet footmarks off the parlor floor. I really love the inclusion of the home aspect, and that home is a persons’ (or animals) sanctuary. I know it certainly is for me. It makes you appreciate taking pride and pleasure in your home. The illustrations are always beautiful and charming.
