Book Description

Publication Date: July 1 2012
A fun back-to-school adventure from the bestselling creators of The Gruffalo

Tiddler is late to school every day, and he always has an elaborate excuse for his teacher. One day, as Tiddler is thinking up his next story, a net sweeps him up and hauls him far away from his school. How will Tiddler find his way home? All he has to do is follow the trail of his biggest, fishiest story yet!

For every parent or teacher who knows the boundless creativity of a perpetually late child, this shows how telling excuses can turn into telling stories to be shared with friends and family. And with a bouncy, bubbly rhyme and vibrant undersea illustrations, Tiddler is sure to become a summertime, read-aloud favourite.

Review

Praise for Stick Man

*"Donaldson and Scheffler's poignant, suspenseful profile of an inanimate object recalls Laurie Keller or The Velveteen Rabbit. Donaldson's rhymes never skip a beat, and Scheffler personalizes the many animals, people and settings in his witty watercolors. This yarn could become a December perennial." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

*"Scheffler's engaging illustrations, Donaldson's irresistible rhyming text and repeated refrains make this a winning read-aloud that will stick around long after the holiday season." —Kirkus, starred review

"The easy cadence, with a rolling structure and uncomplicated rhymes, will make this endearing picture book a fun read-along, and though Stick Man might object, kids will recognize the near-endless possibilities for fun that a stick presents." —Booklist

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite kid's book! Mar 24 2012
By Kara
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very fun read. I love reading this aloud to my children. It best suits 18 months to 4 years. Wonderful rhymes, a lilting speed to the prose, and many parts that the children love to shout out themselves. I love the fact that it encourages storytelling and imagination in little ones, too. There is no one out there that comes close to this duo... The best storyteller/artist combo ever, in my opinion.

This book was very well written. My 7 year old grandson enjoyed the story very much and certainly learned why he should not cry wolf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book to Share With Your Child May 30 2008
By antiomi - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
My son got this book for his 3rd birthday, and it quickly became both his and my favorite. The story is a cute one -- a little fish named Tiddler tells elaborate stories about why he's late to school every day. Then one day he is caught in a fisherman's net and then lost in the ocean. Then he hears someone telling one of his tall tales, and he traces his own story back home.

The book rhymes and has repeating text, so even the smallest kid can "read along." The pictures are gorgeous, imaginative and full of details for little eyes to notice. The story is fun for kids and really very touching for adults. Put a child on your lap and read this with them . . . over and over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another lovely book for you AND the kids to read Nov 24 2007
By A. Woodley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Julia Donaldson manages to write compelling rhymes which are easily read aloud and enjoyed by Adults and children. In this great fun book Tiddler is a small fish in a school with Miss Skate - but he is always late and always with a big excuse. Unfortunately one day there really IS a problem, a man with a net.

Axel Sheffler gets to let his wonderful illustrations run riot for the underwater illustrations. His rich pcitures are really compelling and great fun detail for the kids to pick up. I don't think any book with beat Room on the Broom (another Donaldson/Sheffler book) however it is wonderful to have others. They are fun to read and share

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny story of an unusual talent. July 11 2008
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's THE FISH WHO CRIED WOLF tells of the smallest ocean fish who tells the tallest tales to explain his tardiness - until one day he really is caught by a fisherman. Can he use his storytelling abilities to escape? Hilarious fish drawings add personality and zest to the funny story of an unusual talent.
