Description
No thanks to his naughty cat Simpkin, the tailor of Gloucester has no more twisted silk thread to finish the coat he has promised the mayor for his wedding on Christmas day. With the help of some special friends, the tailor finds that a kind favor is returned. A sensitive retelling and colorful music combine to beautifully evoke the period, flavor, and subtle humor of this wry tale from Beatrix Potter.

Soft colors and careful details distinguish the illustrations of these two classic children's book creators, both of whom are known for their loving depictions of animals. Though Potter typically wrote and illustrated her own stories, Williams often illustrated for other writers, such as E.B. White and Margaret Wise Brown. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
Kids who enjoy sweet, gently playful stories featuring anthropomorphic animal characters and detailed watercolor illustrations will appreciate the picture books by both of these author/illustrators. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
Though Jan Brett's art style is more lavish than Beatrix Potter's, and her stories are often based on traditional tales, both author/illustrators favor animal characters, intricate illustrations, and folksy, old-fashioned charm. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
