THE TALE OF TIMMY TIPTOES : Picture Books for Kids, Perfect Bedtime Story, A Beautifully Illustrated Children's Picture Book by age 3-9 ( Original color illustrations since 1911 )

Tells the story of Timmy Tiptoes, who ends up deep inside the trunk of a dead tree, with no means of getting out. Luckily, the chipmunk who lives there was friendly and kind to him. 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 many nuts and being a little bit too round.

By 1911, when Beatrix Potter was preparing The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes for publication, her books were already well known in America. The new story aimed to appeal directly to her many American fans and featured animals of American origin, grey squirrels, chipmunks and a black bear, all living happily in the Lake District woods.
