The Lost Lagoon

The story of Adam, Mother Mary sending her son to earth...Christian themes are throughout the book. Plus almost all the characters other than a daughter and a fairy or two is male. We had to do some verbal gymnastics to change characters to female to create some balance. This book is clearly written by an older, religious, white male. It does not compare to a classic like Brambly Hedge. Otherwise the book is generally innocent and mostly enjoyable, but I resent the insinuation of blatant Christian images and found it hard to get past these flaws and would not have purchased it had I known.

We absolutely love the Tiptoes Lightly books in our household. The Lost Lagoon is my personal favorite because I love Greenleaf the Sailor. Tiptoes books, all of them, are a bit meditative. You read them and you calm down. This is true. I am not the calmest person by nature (I too am a work in progress), but I definitely feel better after reading these books aloud to my kids. And if they make me feel calmer and happier, then my kids benefit from not just a great story that they ask for over and over again and love to act out, but a mom happy to read that great story and a calmer and more loving household to boot. I like this book especially because it is not as overtly religious as some of the others and would be great as an introductory book along with the original Tiptoes Lightly book. I love these stories and love their effects on our family. Great journeys with love at their core and nothing really to be afraid of. Very reassuring tales.

Great book and great seller. We really love this book and all the Reg Down books for Waldorf inspired reading for little ones. I ordered this book and received it right away and with no issues. I recommend this book and this seller.

This is by far our 4 year old's favorite series. So fun for adults too.

The Tiptoes Lightly books have been really special for me & my 4-year-old to read together.We read this book in the spring and felt like we were living in the Lost Lagoon. The stories are beautiful.I even learned something new about dragonflies! :)

This is one of a collection by Reg Down. They are all super! My daughter who is 5 absolutely loves them. My husband and I who have to read them to her also enjoy them. There are very little illustrations so your child is forced to imagine. I actually ordered more of these books to give as birthday presents. Highly recommend.

This is a fun and attention grabbing book for young children. My 7 year old twins can't get enough of the whimsical characters and their magical adventures and I must say I can't either. A refreshing and creative change from most children's books available for the young grades. The chapters are short so reading two or three before bed each night lasts a few weeks...if you can resist not sneaking a few in after school and weekends! I am off to buy more written by Reg Down.

We (my 6 yr old & I), always love books from Reg Down. 2 years ago, we started with The Tales of Tiptoes Lightly. Back then, my 4 yr old was into Picture Books. We were both disappointed when there was so little illustration in the book. But as I started reading it, I knew why there were so little illustration - no other pictures can be as vivid as the ones created in my little girls mind as she listens to the story - as Waldorf early childhood teachers always say. We went on the read the rest of his books. We always like the adventures of Pine Cone & Pepper Pot, Tiptoes & Jeremy Mouse.

This is a beautiful and fun book, full of treasures. My children, 6 and 3, are captivated over and over again no matter how many times we read it. I also love reading the Tiptoes books, the relationships between the family members is inspirational.I highly recommend this book and all the Tiptoes books.

We adore these books. Very sweet chapter books. Fun lighthearted adventures. We wish there were more if them!

I love the stories and the drawings and so does my daughter (9) We takes turns reading to each other and always want the next chapter. Great continuation of the Tiptoes stories.
