The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes: The original and authorized edition
Beatrix Potter
After a terrible misunderstanding, poor Timmy Tiptoes ends up deep inside the trunk of a dead tree, with no means of getting out. Luckily, the chipmunk who lived there was very friendly and kind to Timmy. Before long, a strong wind blows the top off the dead tree trunk, but poor Timmy can’t get himself out on account of eating far too many nuts and being a little bit too round!
Beatrix wrote this story to appeal directly to her American fans and featured animals of American origin (grey squirrels, chipmunks and a black bear) all living happily in the Lake District woods!

The other squirrels squeezed Timmy into a hole and he got out.

I thought that this was a good book to read. My favourite characters are the wives- Mrs Goody tiptoes the squirrel and Mrs Chippy Hackee the chipmunk.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought that it was most thoughtful of the mice to finish off tye mayor’s coat and waistcoat for the old and sick tailor. This is a good book that’s definitely worth reading because it makes you happy.

Timmy Tiptoes & Chippy Hackee are a bit greedy. It has a nice ending with Timmy & Goody having baby Squirrels & a safe place to keeps there nuts.

I absolutely loved this one because Timmy gathers nuts and he puts them in the house belonging to a woodpecker, and in winter he was thinner and could gather them all, but he got fat and couldn’t get out.

One forgetful squirrel goes a long way.

It was a bit weird when the squirrel put Timmy Tiptoes down the tree hole. This was a funny story and I enjoyed it.
