The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes by Beatrix Potter
3.0

A Beatrix Potter I haven't read before! Oh frabjous day... not one of my favourites, but it's still a cute little story about squirrels and the perils of badly hidden nuts. Highlight is as always the illustrations; the best one was of poor Timmy being stuffed into his own hiding hole by a horde of maddened and forgetful squirrels. I did wonder at the appearance of the bear and chipmunk, however. It seems the British countryside has been abandoned for the American one...
