In this episode of Once Upon a Storytime Podcast, we step into the prim and proper village of Sawrey with The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan. Duchess the dog is invited to tea at her friend Ribby’s house, but she’s secretly worried about what might be served—particularly if it’s mouse pie! To avoid an awkward situation, Duchess hatches a sneaky plan to switch pies… which leads to a series of polite misunderstandings and quiet chaos.
This charming tale of manners, mixed-up meals, and neighborly friendship is full of gentle humor and delightful details. Beatrix Potter’s witty look at animal society reminds us that sometimes, even good intentions can lead to comical consequences.
Perfect for listeners who love a little mischief mixed with their tea and tales!
