A whimsical tale of imagination and adventure, TIDDLER is a delightful picture book that follows the adventures of a small fish with a big imagination. Every day, Tiddler arrives late to school with a new, elaborate tale to explain his tardiness, from being caught by a squid to riding a seahorse. 

His classmates listen in amusement, but his teacher, Miss Skate, remains skeptical.  One day, Tiddler's storytelling becomes reality when he is swept away by a strong current and finds himself lost in the vast ocean. As he encounters various sea creatures, he realises that his own tales have spread far and wide, helping him find his way back home. This heartwarming story celebrates the power of imagination and the importance of storytelling.

Julia Donaldson's rhyming text is engaging and rhythmic, making it a joy to read aloud. Axel Scheffler's vibrant illustrations bring the underwater world to life, filled with colourful details that captivate young readers. Together, they create a memorable reading experience that teaches children about creativity, honesty, and the consequences of their actions.
