The Tale of Ginger and Pickles By Beatrix Potter (Read Aloud)

In this episode of Once Upon a Storytime Podcast, we visit a curious little village shop run by two unlikely business owners—a ginger cat and a friendly terrier. In Ginger and Pickles, the shop offers everything from sugar to soap, and customers are always welcome. The problem? Ginger and Pickles are too kind—they let everyone buy on credit… and no one ever pays!

As the bills pile up and the shelves grow bare, the two shopkeepers must figure out how to stay afloat—or close their doors for good.

This witty tale is a lighthearted look at business, generosity, and the realities of running a store. With its humorous charm and cozy village setting, it’s a delightful listen for children and grown-ups alike.
