No, it wasn't Beatrix Potter, but thanks for trying to help!
Your welcome.

"Loganberry Books: Stump the Bookseller"
Miriam Clark Potter, Bedtime Stories, 1951, copyright.
This is a Junior Elf book. It has a blue cover showing Mama Cat, wearing a pink-and-white gingham dress, seated in a green chair on a yellow rug. Mama Cat is reading from a book titled "Cat Tales" to her three kittens, who are gathered around her, wearing their nightclothes. The stories are "Three Jumpy Kittens," about kittens who jump around on the furniture when they should be napping, until they wear themselves out and fall asleep, "Mrs. Groundhog's Grapevine," about two greedy young squirrels who devour all the grapes, then buy fruit and vegetables to tie to the grapevine as replacements, and "Mrs. Rabbit's Birthday Cake" about three little bunnies who bake a surprise birthday cake for their mother. Cute illustrations by Tony Brice.
It's number K106 on the page above.
OMG, Lanica, you are awesome! Thank you so much for finding this. I have already ordered it from Amazon.
OMG Bridget, that was my favorite book when I was little too. I decided to google it all of a sudden, and there was your question, and the answer. I ordered a copy too - I can't wait to see it. Thank you!!Carolyn
1. kittens get into trouble when their mom leaves them home alone
2. squirrels eat too many grapes in the neighbor's yard
3. rabbits make their mom a birthday cake
Any ideas? This was my favorite book when I was little, but it was destroyed in Hurricane Hugo, and my mom and I could never remember the name of the book.
