The Roly Poly Pudding By Beatrix Potter (Read Aloud)

In this episode of Once Upon a Storytime Podcast, get ready for a slightly spookier tale with Beatrix Potter’s The Roly-Poly Pudding. When Tom Kitten gets into mischief and wanders off, he finds himself trapped by a pair of sinister rats—Samuel Whiskers and his wife, Anna Maria—who have a dreadful plan to turn poor Tom into a roly-poly pudding!

With suspense, quick thinking, and the help of his mother and her friends, Tom escapes just in time. This thrilling tale is a bit darker than Potter’s other stories, filled with suspense, clever escapes, and the reminder that curiosity sometimes leads to trouble—but also that help is never far away.

Perfect for slightly older listeners who enjoy a touch of adventure with their animal tales!
