The sun is rising higher into the sky every day. Summer has come
and Farmer John builds a great pile of wood for the Midsummer's Eve
festival taking place on his land. Tom Nutcracker and June Berry's
whole school is coming to celebrate. June Berry forgets a basket
(with a cookie inside) by the oak tree when they are helping their
dad build the wood pile. A small detail to us, perhaps, but one
which leads Jeremy Mouse on a merry dance as Jemima Mouse tries to
preserve the cookie for the festival. Meanwhile, Pine Cone and
Pepper Pot are not opening their door to anyone other than Tiptoes
(and even then only reluctantly). Their beards, it seems, are
entangled. Hopelessly entangled. 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.
"The Midsummer Mouse" is a summer tale, full of midsummer mirth,
misadventure, mystery and delight. It will bring sparkles to
children's eyes, and laughter to adults, too. Suitable, as always
with Tiptoes Lightly tales, for family reading from kindergarten
through age ten or so.
