014 The Tale of Mr. Tod

015 The Tale of Pigling Bland

We've reached the LONGEST BOOK in the series -- but it certainly isn't the slowest! Have your emergency peppermints on hand as Brooke and Eleanor dive into The Tale of Pigling Bland (and immediately get waylaid by a discussion of the legal status of pigs in the Beatrix Potter Universe).

014 The Tale of Mr. Tod

In which the "little books" of Beatrix Potter doesn't seem so little anymore. Mr. Tod's tale of dubious behavior clocks in at 96 pages long (!) and features a hefty amount of badger slander. Slander, we say -- and the Flopsy Bunnies are on hand to be kidnapped once again.

013 The Tale of Johnny Town Mouse

Take a trip to a world where Edwardian mice have multi-course meals and ask petty little questions about the length of your tail! Yes, it's time to read "The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse," where Brooke and Eleanor squee over the cutest mouse to ever sleep nestled next to a pea pod.

012 The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes

We dive back into Squirrel World for one weird fever dream of a story. Can a person have TOO many nuts? Or will that arouse the ire of the Squirrel Mob? Brooke and Eleanor dive into "The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes" and are relieved to find that Beatrix Potter redeems it all at the end with one of the cutest illusrations so far.

011 The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse

What's worse, a home invasion of bees the size of footstools, or a bee-exterminator who overstays his welcome? Fortunately, thanks to Mrs. Tittlemouse, we don't have to answer these questions ourselves. Eleanor & Brooke read the "Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse," and discuss gorgeous insect illustration, passive-agressive hostess skills, and honey-eating toads.
