Table of contents
This sends Tiptoes all over the forest to find a way to get pine resin out of beards. Then there is the problem of Ompliant the Elephant. What are Tom and June to do with him? How will they keep him out of sight? But the clever kids come up with a wonderful idea to hide a pachyderm in plain sight. Finally, the Summer Queen begins to appear here and there, and in the end joins the festival and tells The Tale of Turana before mysteriously vanishing before the crowd. From one of our favorite children's authors comes another collection sure to delight.
A Tangle of Tales is packed cover to cover with 42 stories for children. Inside you'll find nature tales, riddle tales, fables, fairy tales, poems, and creation myths both serious and sanguine. Spring is full of life and life is full of eggs, all sorts of eggs: great cosmic eggs and tiny butterfly eggs, salmon eggs and bird eggs, rabbit eggs and special eggs being gilded and painted by two gnomes called Pine Cone and Pepper Pot.
However, if you are a gnome, a small gnome—even if you are two small gnomes—then the simplest of tasks such as finding a bird who does not mind giving you a couple of their eggs can be a problem Woven into the fabric of the book are many tales, myths and legends: Pepper Pot reads the history of King Karnac and the Turning of Time, Madam Two-Pecks tells her chicks how the universe was created from the World Egg, and the Wise Salmon in Running River tells the fingerlings about the great cycle, the Egg of Life.
Cactus, the Worm who'slost his squirm and cannot wiggle back into the safety of his home. They go on to sail down to the sea to untangle little Octopus who is too young to count properly he can only count to seven , and gets his legs hopelessly mixed up whenever he tries. Now, Reg Down has created a sumptuously illustrated storybook that brings Tiptoes' first adventure to life in ways glorious to behold.
I can't imagine a child who wouldn't revel in the images and characters of this storybook. A perfect gift any time of the year. I just love it.
Whether you plan to read these sprightly stories to young children, use them as class stories for first grade, or offer them to an intermediate reader as a first chapter book, you and the children in your care are going to love these tales and the gentle characters who people them. Tiptoes Lightly is a gentle and wise fairy who lives in an acorn high up in the branches of a Great Oak Tree. One morning she finds a note lying on her floor.

It says: "Please help! Bee has lost his Buzz! I read these stories to the children of my class every week for a whole year - they loved them! Their faces shone with obvious delight - I recommend them highly. More adventures of Tiptoes Lightly -- this time with an eye to the festivals of autumn and winter. Tiptoes and her friends journey the realms of nature and spirit, encountering the heart and soul of the festivals along the way. These are just such dear stories -- I can't imagine any young child failing to love them as much as I do. Reg Down weaves more Tiptoes magic, this time with a spring theme.
In this third book filled with stories that are so lyrical and lovely they practically dance themselves off the page, we join Tiptoes and her friends in Farmer John's garden where bees and plants are awakening in gay abandon. As the book and the season progresses, babies of all sorts are born, kites are flown, more tales are told, sacrifices and rescues are made, and love is called into it all. These stories are so wonderful for kindergartners and first graders and their teachers and parents! Thanks, Reg! Another delightful addition to Reg Down's Tiptoes Lightly series!
The Lost Lagoon will keep your children rapt with attention as Tiptoes Lightly and Greenleaf the Sailor make their way through new wonder-filled adventures. It is spring and Running River is in full flood. Soon they are joined by Pine Cone and Pepper Pot the Gnomes and together they search for the Lost Lagoon the frogs have been so beautifully singing about. Later, Tom rides off in the night until he, too, comes to the Lost Lagoon. What Happens on this night, with its majestic, rising moon, is filled with a wonder and magic that won't soon be forgotten.
Reg Down has gifted us with a happy Easter tale featuring Tiptoes Lightly and her friends. It's pretty wonderful for today's adults, too. One morning an egg appears in the meadow below the Great Oak Tree. Neither Jeremy Mouse nor the fairy Tiptoes Lightly have ever seen such a huge egg — over a foot tall! In fact, I think it may be the best of the series, if not one of the best children's books ever written. Definitely on par with the original Pooh stories of A. Milne and the stories of Elsa Beskow and I wouldn't be surprised if these were read year from now too.
It was hard to read only a little at a time to my 5-year-old because I could hardly wait to see what happened next. Luckily I'm over 40 and can control myself. I was full of wonder and laughing just as much as my children. After we finished, my son wanted it read to him again and I was more than happy to oblige. Another great series of stories from this author.
Stories by Reg Down
Wonderful, sweet stories. My child gleams when I read the stories and you can watch his imagination working as he looks forward and pays close attention to each sentence anticipating what happens next. There are very few illustrations my child is less dependent on pictures and is forced to source his own imagination, which of course is so much more exciting. Oh my!!

Was I excited when we got our book!! Having read a couple others of tiptoes' adventures we were SO very excited! The adventures and silly times with Pepperpot and Pinecone are unlike anything you will experience. My boys love these books and so do I! They will be in our collection for ever and ever!! Reg Down and his friends are treasures that I'm so glad we found. We've read two of Reg Down's books so far and they are deep, subtle, sensitive, like word watercolors for the soul. We read them at night before bed and my daughter,6, and I are both calmed. Really magic for the nervous system.
One person found this helpful. Can't beat Reg Down books. If you've never read any of them to a young child, I wouldn't start with this one, but then again it wouldn't hurt. We read this one for summer solstice time and the children simply loved it as they do all the Tiptoes Lightly series. Always interesting to the child as the story weaves in and out and always a sweet and positive message.
Good for age 5 and up, But especially for 6, 7 and 8 year olds. My kids love these books! There are 22 customer reviews and 23 customer ratings. See all 22 customer reviews. Write a customer review. There's a problem loading this menu right now. Learn more about Amazon Prime.
