Another cat who isnt very good at wearing a shirt. "The Tale of Tom Kitten" is one of the great feline liberation narratives of our time and does a great job preparing kids to the idea of Sticking It To The Man. And dont forget his sisters!

Watching The Magic of Mushrooms on BBC Four, and they just mentioned Beatrix Potter and her interest in/study of mushrooms - I had no idea! Had a root around on the internet and found this:

@vmbrasseur what a wonderful site, thanks for sharing!
I've been reading stories from 's to my 4 year old , which I picked up out of a public book exchange 'phone booth', but I think I'll soon be running out of stories in it, so this will come in handy. :)
Aside from 's, do you have any other personal recommendations for young children's books with short stories?

I’ve not seen this image by Beatrix Potter before. I dearly love it! “Mice in a Coconut”, 1891, Beatrix Potter.
