Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where did Mrs. Tittlemouse live?

Answer: in a bank under a hedge

To quote the book, "Once upon a time there was a wood-mouse, and her name was Mrs. Tittlemouse. She lived in a bank under a hedge."
2. Which of these rooms did Mrs. Tittlemouse NOT have in her house?

Answer: guest bedroom

"There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry and a larder. Also, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's room, where she slept in a little box bed!"

Also mentioned in the book are cellars and storerooms.
3. What type of animal was Babbity?

Answer: A bee

"Suddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble -'Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!' said the bumble bee. Mrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a broom. 'Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But what are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and say Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?' Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get very cross."
4. When Mrs. Tittlemouse got to the storeroom where the acorns used to be, what was in it?

Answer: dry moss

The storeroom was full of dry moss. When Mrs. Tittlemouse began pulling the moss out, she found some angry bees. "I am not in the habit of letting lodgings, this is an intrusion!" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.
5. Why would Mrs. Tittlemouse not have Mr. Jackson come and turn out the bees?

Answer: because he never wiped his feet

Mrs. Tittlemouse would not have Mr. Jackson because he never wipes his feet. She does not like that he is always wet, but that was not mentioned.
Mr. Jackson would never eat Mrs. Tittlemouse!
6. Who was Mr. Jackson?

Answer: a toad

Mr. Jackson was a toad, who "lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch." Mrs. Tittlemouse didn't like him dripping all over her nice clean house.
7. What did Mr. Jackson want for dinner?

Answer: a dish of honey

Mrs. Tittlemouse offers him cherry-stones and thistle-down seed, but he decides he wants a dish of honey. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I really-REALLY should like- would be a little dish of honey!"
I made up the dried flies!
8. Where did Mrs. Tittlemouse find Mr. Jackson?

Answer: In the parlour

Mrs. Tittlemouse meets Mr. Jackson in the parlour after she finds the moss and bees in her acorn storeroom.
9. What is Mrs. Tittlemouse's first name?

Answer: Thomasina

We find this out fairly late on in the book.
10. When Mr. Jackson wanted to come to the party at the end but couldn't fit in the door, what did Mrs. Tittlemouse do?

Answer: She gave him honey out the window

Mr. Jackson couldn't fit in the door (Mrs. Tittlemouse had made it smaller so he couldn't fit in) so he sat outside the window and Mrs. Tittlemouse and the five other little mice passed out "acorn-cupfuls of honey" to him, and he was "not at all offended".
