This classic tale comes to life for the young and the young at heart in this oversized version and large print edition of this classic book, The Tale of Tom Kitten. The oversized, large print edition makes a perfect gift for children who are still learning to read. The tale is about manners and how children react to them. Tabitha Twitchit, a cat, invites friends for tea. She washes and dresses her three kittens for the party, but within moments the kittens have soiled and lost their clothes while scampering about the garden. Tabitha is "affronted." She sends the kittens to bed, and tells her friends the kittens have the measles. Once the tea party is underway however, its "dignity and repose" are disturbed by the kittens romping overhead and leaving a bedroom in disorder.
