Jemima searches for a place away from the farm where she can hatch her eggs without human interference, and naively confides her woes to a suave fox who invites her to nest in a shed at his home. Jemima is a domestic duck of the Aylesbury breed, whose eggs are routinely confiscated by the farmer's wife because she believes Jemima to be a poor sitter. Jemima Puddle-Duck was the first of her books set wholly at the farm with background illustrations based on the farm buildings and yard, and nearby locales. Following the purchase, her works began to focus on country and village life, incorporating large casts of animal characters and sinister villains. Potter composed the book at Hill Top, a working farm in the Lake District she bought in 1905. It was first published by Frederick Warne & Co. The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter.

One of the kittens featured in The Story of Miss Moppet and Tabitha Twitchit and her shop are mentioned again in The Tale of Ginger and Pickles. The cat family re-appeared in The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or, The Roly-Poly Pudding. The illustrations included her kittens playing. Tabitha Twitchit had appeared in a previously published story, The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan, in which she was a shop keeper. When they return, she hides them upstairs and tells her company that they have the measles. They not only get dirty but lose their clothes to some passing puddle-ducks. Tabitha Twitchit, grooms and dresses them up for company she is expecting, then sends them out with the admonishment that they not get dirty.

This book tells the story of three little kittens, Mittens, Tom Kitten and Moppet, who get into mischief. Tom Kitten and his sisters let the puddle-ducks have their clothes.
