 Rating:  - Great for children...My son wanted me to read a book to him, and I just grabbed this off his shelf. We have a big set of Potter's books. This one is not the favorite, but we enjoy all her books. My son learns a lot, and will ask, "Mom, what does commotion mean...", for example. Beatrix Potter's books are great vocabulary builders for this reason. I love the old fashioned style, and simple sweet ways of these stories. It brings everyday animals to 'life'.

They go out to collect some nuts to store for winter and spring, and you can only imagine what could happen to then. This is yet another great story from Beatrix Potter, but not one of her best ones, I think. The other squirrels in the forest think that Timmy has stolen all his nuts from their storehouses and they go to chase him. He then gets trapped ... Read More Rating: - Happy EndingOut of the complete Beatrix Potter collection, my 4-year-old daughter enjoys hearing this story the most. This story keeps her attention through the entire story. She looks forward to the end when Timmy Tiptoes is reunited with his wife. Some of Potter's stories can be a little harsh, this one is border-line, where the child may worry about Timmy Tiptoes, but he ends up getting back to his wife and life as usual.
