Lucy Goose and the Half-egg
Tiptoes
Lightly lives in an acorn high in the branches of a Great Oak Tree. Her
tree sits on a knoll overlooking Running River, and she and her friends
have a host of adventures. First they help the bee who lost his buzz –
snagged on a thorn belonging to grumpy Mr. Cactus! Then they visit the
house of Pine Cone and Pepper Pot and sail down to the sea to untangle
Octopus – he’s too young to count his legs properly and gets them mixed up!
Later
they journey to Snowy Mountain to hear from Jack Frost what kind of
being he really is – and Jack tells the dramatic tale of how he came to
be. Finally, after many adventures big and small they find out who the
real mother of the half-egg is – the one that Lucy Goose found in the
mud and is determined to hatch along with her own eggs.
