Every day, Tiddler is late for school, and every day he has another tall tale for his teacher. But did he really ride a seahorse? Did he really meet a mermaid? And who will believe him when he really does get captured in a net? "Picture-book perfection ... It's got laughs, drama and great rhymes." INDEPENDENT

Tiddler is a terrific story.

Reviewed in Australia on 16 April 2019

Tiddler is a wonderful story! I’ve read this story to my son hundreds of times and it’s a story that both he and I love. It’s got some humor in it, that he’s gradually picking up on as he gets older and lots of interesting drawings of the sea. The board book is great because it’s a lot more durable for toddlers who are destructive! ;)

Choke on your lies!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Yet another great book from this cherished author however I do have a problem with the story...
The book is all about Tidler who keeps on telling lies to explain his lateness. When he finds himself totally lost one day he finds his way back by following tales of his lies back home. A happy ending but no “lying is bad” moral.

I do like a good moral to my kids stories but if anything this is telling children how lying can help you.

A fun book with a nice cadence and story. Nice ending too.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2019

Verified Purchase

Tiddler's a funny book about a little fish that tells tall tales, but eventually his stories kind-of come true. A little like a boy-fish who cried wolf-fish ;-)

The rhyming and metre is challenging in this book, you have to get into the rhythm, and it's easy to forget to say it with the cantering cadence, and instead fall back to just reading it like a book.

The story has a number of interesting morals and things for you to talk to your kids about at bed time... It covers imagination, truancy, lateral thinking, detective work and perseverence, all in one book.

We've read it a number of times to the kids and they love it. It's one of the author's lesser-known books, but it's still a great little read!

One of the really nice things you can talk to the kids about is that the book shows Julia Donaldson, garbed in scuba-gear at the end, taking notes while Tiddler relays his story to her... You can talk about how the book shows its own writing, a nice self-referentiality which is also sort-of present in Charlie Cook's Favourite Book.

Not her best work but ok

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2019

Verified Purchase

Brought this because we have most of Julia Donaldson's books an my little ones really enjoy them.
The usual lovely illustrations are present but I find it less charming an fun than a lot of her others. It feels like there's a couple of pages missing.
I didn't particularly like it first read but my two like it an have me read it a fair few times it has grown on me but I'd still put it at the back of the queue in a list of her books.

Beautiful illustrations, a wonderful read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 June 2018

Verified Purchase

My new favourite, never mind my little ones! Beautiful illustrations, lovely story, nice introduction to clocks and days of the week woven in, as well as different types of fish. Really easy to read aloud, and my just-turned-4-year old (it was her birthday present) is already enthusiastically joining in after only a few read throughs (my two year old was also able to identify the different fish...)

Elizabeth Keane

Humorous tale and a wonderful adventure.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2020

Verified Purchase

Fab story again from a wonderful storyteller. It follows the adventures of a little fish whose imagination and tales really do lead to an exciting journey. The images are beautiful and detailed and we loved the rhyming text and the verse that was repeated throughout. It gave little ones a chance to participate in the story.
Well worth purchasing and sharing.
