The complete Riddle is not correct, but the clues to find it and confirm it are correct! 10 additional entries for Pop on this - he has shared the two mini puzzles that help find/confirm the Riddle.

Backgammon: There are 15 white and 15 black pieces, often called stones. Opposing stones are moved from point to point in opposite directions around the board, the exact number of points shown on the dice. The two numbers may be applied separately to two different stones or, in turn, to one.

Pictures might be "found by". Spell out the words and take 1st letter from 1st. 2nd letter from 2nd, etc. You have to wrap back the beginning of Dice because it's not 5 long. Then the space counts to increase the index to 2. Resume with 3rd letter of caBin.

EYES are a hint to solving the puzzle correctly. All things contain the letter i. Take the letter BEFORE each one. F -i- sh O -i- ns (coins) U -i- d (squid) N - i-mal (animal_ D - i- ce (dice) B - i- n (cabin) Y - i -ngyang Mike6888 will receive 5 additional entries.

Great job!
I think I have the four letter one, WITH. I think that's used by combining the toys around the border of page 1 with the 2x2 grid.
1. TOP 2. DIESEL? 3. AIRPLANE 4. CAR 5. CHEST 6. BLOCKS 7. ROCKING HORSE 8. PINWHEEL 9. KEYS
8-4 is pinWheel 2-2 is dIesel (?) 1-1 is Top 7-8 is rocking Horse

BLOCKS 7. ROCKING HORSE 8. PINWHEEL 9. KEYS 8-4 is pinWheel 2-2 is dIesel (?) 1-1 is Top 7-8 is rocking Horse WITH is correct - wonderful! However the intended method for discovering this was in the 2x2 being associated with the CLOCK. 8 oclock line, 4th letter - W (pinWheel) 2 oclock line, 2nd letter - I (aIrplane) 1 oclock line, 1st letter - T (Train) 7 oclock line, 8th letter - H (rocking Horse) Puzzledrifter gains another 5 entries.

I have no idea how to make it work, but it seems one of the four-letter words might be Nana. (It was their grandmother's secret that is shared.) :-)

Hopefully, I have a solve for TXFYMSWYFXR. I used a One-Time Pad cipher, with the alphabet Z to A. The keyword is "fortunately". The Result is "NINE REVEALS".
This was a back-solve (a reverse engineered solve), guessing that the first word would be "Nine".
"Fortunately" does appear in the Story, as the first word of the SIXTH Sentence in the SIXTH paragraph. I think this is intentional, as there are 66 letters in the RIDDLE.
Thanks!

Great spotting! That also fits the two dice at the end of the poem showing 6 6.
