Tiddler

The funny and fabulous rhyming picture book from the number one bestselling author and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Stick Man and Zog. The smallest fish can tell the tallest tales …

‘“Sorry I’m late, Miss. I set off really early But on the way to school I was captured by a squid.  I wriggled and I struggled till a turtle came and rescued me.” “Oh, no, he didn’t.” “OH, YES, HE DID.”’ Tiddler is a little fish with a BIG imagination! Every day he tells a tall tale. 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?
