My thoughts about the book are that both the mouse and Miss Moppet were rude to each other and the rudest one was the mouse because he made Miss Moppet get badly hurt. My favourite character was Miss Moppet because she only was rude to the mouse because he was rude to her. This is my least favourite book in the Peter Rabbit collection.

In my opinion, the story of Miss Moppet is really funny and amusing, but I feel sorry for the cat because it tried to be clever but it forgot about the hole in the cloth. This gave the mouse a chance to escape, be safe and make fun of poor Miss Moppet the cat.

I didn't like this book because the mouse was being rude to miss moppet and miss moppet was being mean to the mouse.

I liked this story because the kitten teased the mouse and she forgot about the hole in the duster and so he got away. It was funny.

About a cat that tried to eat a mouse. It put a big a bag on its face and took it off and grabbed the mouse.
