The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
Beatrix Potter
Book Overview:
Mrs. Tittlemouse is a woodmouse who lives in a "funny house" of long passages and storerooms beneath a hedge. Her efforts to keep her dwelling tidy are thwarted by insect and arachnid intruders who create all sorts of messes about the place: a lost beetle leaves dirty footprints in a passage and a spider inquiring after Miss Muffet leaves bits of cobweb here and there. Her toad neighbour Mr. Jackson lets himself into her parlour, stays for dinner, and searches her storerooms for honey but leaves a mess behind. Poor Mrs. Tittlemouse wonders if her home will ever be tidy again, but after a good night's sleep, she gives her house a fortnight's spring cleaning, polishes her little tin spoons, and holds a party for her friends.

She lived in a bank under a hedge.
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.
There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.
Also, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little b. . . Read More

i don't think i would be happy if i found a wet toad in my house either
A lovely story about a very house-proud, wood-mouse, who struggles to keep her house tidy when visited by other animals and insects. Some wonderful onomatopoeic sentences, and the trademark exceptional illustrations.
I had never read this book and happened upon it as I was doing some organizing. I learned that mice eat cherry pits just as I was eating some cherries from my cherry tree.

To be honest - I like The Tale of Peter Rabbit better than this - But i loved the illustrations in this book!
It was a nice cute book for a good feel read!
This story was cool. She has some great pictures of bugs: beetles, spiders, ladybugs, etc. The niblings loved this story. Mrs. Tittlemouse is a neat-freak. She needs her house clean and those bugs are dirty. I think this is a story about OCD. She needs some help. She cleaned her house for a fortnigh
Mrs. Tittlemouse is definitely a neat freak, and probably suffers from OCD, but then again, she does have some pretty intrusive neighbours. Look at Mr. Jackson, the toad. He shows up, wet feet and all, repeating "tiddly, widdly, widdly", nonsense and then demands what may be the last of Mrs. Tittlem
