The Bee who Lost his Buzz

The Bee who Lost his Buzz

The Bee who Lost his Buzz is the illustrated first adventure of The Tales of Tiptoes Lightly. It follows Tiptoes and Jeremy Mouse as they help Bee whose buzz has been snagged by grumpy Mr. Cactus. After an adventure with Pine Cone and Pepper Pot the gnomes, Jeremy Mouse finds a Worm who’s lost his squirm and cannot wiggle back into the safety of his home under the ground. The next day, along with the gnomes, they sail down Running River to the ocean to help Octopus untangle his legs. He’s too young to count them properly (he can only count to seven) and whenever he tries he gets them hopelessly mixed up.

The Bee who Lost his Buzz is an innocent and magical tale suitable for reading to young children or for young children to read.
