The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes. First edition, deluxe issue, in green cloth. There were two impressions of the first edition, both with the year 1911 on the title page. The first impression was published in October and the second in November. These impressions "are believed to be indistinguishable" (Linder)."It is believed that The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes was written primarily for American children because they would be familiar with both chipmunks and bears. They would also be familiar with grey squirrels..." (Linder, p. 208).
