The Tale of Two Bad Mice introduces two mischievous mice, Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca, who venture into a beautifully furnished dollhouse.
Disappointed to find the lavish feast made of plaster—and therefore inedible—they express their frustration by breaking dishes and tearing up the tidy rooms.
As chaos ensues, the mice soon realize their naughtiness and attempt to make amends, reminding readers of the importance of honesty and respect for others’ property.
Beatrix Potter’s delightful illustrations and playful storytelling make this short tale a humorous and heartwarming listen for children and adults alike.
