The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle

A little girl named Lucie has lost three pocket-handkerchiefs, and her search brings her to the home of a little hedgehog named Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle has washed them and done the laundry for many other Beatrix Potter characters. At the end of the story Lucie discovers that Mrs.

Tiggy-Winkle is a hedgehog, and others accuse her of dreaming.

Lucie's lost hankerchiefs turn up in the home of a hedgehog, though Lucie isn't sure if she dreamed it all or not. Lucie is a good representation of the average child, always losing things and very inquisitive, while Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is very kind and gentle for being so prickly. The plot isn't too

exciting, but finding out at the end that Lucie had fallen asleep makes the reader wonder if it really happened or not, which is good for a child's imagination. The illustrations all complement the story very well. It is another classic by Beatrix Potter, and would be included in my collection.

I found this book to be elegant and delicate in both its appearance and its content. The illustrations are also refined and give one the sense of being dainty. The story is fanciful and leads the reader on an unexpected journey to meet the animals’ washerwoman. It is a lovely read aloud, but is

quite text heavy, written with old language norms and so requires a certian dedication for a young reader to understand.

My favorite of the Peter Rabbit books. I like how many of the other books are tied into this one.

This book is about a little girl who keeps losing her pocket-handkerchiefs and soon realizes that it was an old woman, who is actually a hedgehog. I enjoyed this book because it I votes children to use their imagination. I would recommend this book for grades K-2.

This book is a classic that is written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. Children will love the illustrations and the cute story. This book is appropriate for young children.

This is a delightful story about little Lucie's search for her hankies. She asks several other animals before she spends time with the cute Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle! One of the delights of this story is the appearance of several other famous Beatrix Potter characters. Love the illustrations, too!

Really seems to lack something that good children's books have. Too white bread or something.

This book was not as engaging as I thought it would be. The storyline was cute, but not one that pulls your interest right in. The imagery and descriptive words were great though, I loved that I could picture exactly what the characters were doing even without looking at the illustrations.

One of my favorite stories from Beatrix Potter when I was growing up. This tale is one of the only stories she writes which leaves the reader in a totally imaginative state as Miss Tiggy-Winkle transforms into a hedgehog at the end but leaves all of her hard work behind for Lucie to wonder what

actually happened.... Fun story to use if you you are wanting to engage the young mind in conversations of magic and possibilities.

This was quite a fun and imaginative story. I loved it! I borrowed it from my lovely student :)

A sweet tale of the woes of a laundress and her dedication. Also perhaps, of the imaginations of a child as she observes woodland creatures.

This book has always transported me back to my childhood; my wanderings and wonderings about the critters I discovered.

Until recently I had never read a Beatrix Potter book. I did not know that Mrs Tiggy-Winkle was a hedgehog who did ironing. I did not know what a 'clear-starcher' was. To be acquainted with the characters and words such as 'goffered' in this miniature edition was a delight. Sadly the enemies of
