About this ebook
In The Tale of Two Bad Mice, two mice, upset at learning the food in a dollhouse is fake, go on a vandalism spree. When the little girl who owns the dollhouse sees the destruction, she puts a policeman doll outside the doll house to prevent any more vandalism. To make up for their nefarious deeds, the two mice put a crooked sixpence in the doll's stocking on Christmas Eve and tidy up the house with a dust-pan and broom. The fifth of Beatrix Potter's 22 charmingly illustrated tales of animals in amusing situations, The Tale of Two Bad Mice has delighted children since its release in 1904.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my personal all-time FAVORITE books. How could you not love a couple of pilaging mice who throw temper tantrums and then feel bad and try to make up for their naughty ways.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Who can resist the delightful mischief of Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lacking in substance (even for Potter) and the moment that mousetrap appeared and I think we were all hoping for a more Roald Dahl-ish ending but that's all made up for when you realise it's basically an episode of The Twilight Zone for kids. (And the illustrations are as beautiful as ever of course)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a simplified story, originally published in a larger format for little children. Having a love of fictional mice, and dollhouses, this is an especial favorite story of mine. The mice have tempers, and are certainly naughty, but nice, too. As always, the illustrations tell half the story, or more, and the words compliment them.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Oh no, does Beatrix Potter actually suck? This is too treacly for words.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Kinda cute/kinda boring. I liked the illustrations.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely without a doubt a fabulous story - favourite phrases are:"at least it belonged to Lucinda, but she never ordered meals." Right...and that makes a lot of sense to someone I'm sure and..."They would not come off the plates, but they were extremely beautiful." A dieter's dream!"-all so convenient!" "Then Tom Thumb lost his temper." - said with great emphasis.....followed swiftly by..."Then there was no end to the rage and disappointment....." sounds like my house....and to top it all off...."Jane leant against the kitchen dresser and smiled...." as all dolls do....
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's simple and cute--a little bit dated--but in an endearing way. I definitely felt bad for the mice when they realized the food was fake.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Two dolls live in a lovely doll house, but when they are away, two mice break and steal half the things! The nurse sets a mouse trap as a punishment of their naughtiness. They make up for it a little bit by giving the dolls money and cleaning their house every day.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A beautiful example of Potter's sly wit. My father-in-law couldn't stop laughing when he read this to my 3yo, and I laughed aloud too in a couple of places. It was pretty funny to read that "there was no end to the rage and disappointment" of the mice, who went off on a destructive tear. Their antics were pretty funny as were the commentaries of the human beings who saw the evidence and wanted a policeman doll, or, more wisely, a mousetrap.
