Product Description

Dive into the colourful underwater world of Tiddler: The Story-Telling Fish, a delightful rhyming picture book from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the creators of The Gruffalo.

Tiddler may be the smallest fish in the ocean, but he’s full of big ideas. Every day, he’s late for school with another incredible excuse — from daring rescues to thrilling adventures with turtles and mermaids. His classmates may not always believe him, but when Tiddler finds himself truly lost, it’s one of his own tall tales that helps him find his way home.

Filled with Scheffler’s rich, detailed illustrations and Donaldson’s signature rhythmic text, Tiddler is a celebration of storytelling, imagination, and the magic of creativity. Young readers will delight in the playful repetition and lively rhymes, while adults will appreciate its gentle message about friendship and believing in yourself.

This paperback edition is perfect for reading aloud, sparking discussion, and enjoying together time and again. It’s a wonderful addition to any child’s bookshelf — a story that proves that even the tiniest voices can tell the biggest stories.
