It is spring and Running River is in full flood. Tiptoes Lightly and Jeremy Mouse visit Greenleaf the Sailor and they venture forth in Greenleaf's newly made boat. 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. Meanwhile, back home, Farmer John reads The Adam Tales to Tom Nutcracker and June Berry. 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.
Lovely chapter book for children who loves fairies and folk tales about animals. I read them to my kids as a bed time story chapter by chapter. They really enjoyed it.
I liked this book better than the other Tiptoes stories (we have read 4 of the books). Probably because it was less silly/ridiculous than some of the other ones (I don't like Ompliant the elephant, and he's not in this one). My kids liked it as much as the other Tiptoes books. I thought the story about the leaf was cute, and there are a few other good ones in there too.
