Tiddler [Paperback] [Jul 07, 2016] Scholastic

Julia Donaldson is the best writer of books for small children since Dr. Seuss, and other than *The Gruffalo*, this is my favorite of hers. Great rhyme scheme, fun twists to the story of a procrastinating fish, and Axel Scheffler's illustrations are perfect. Reviewing this makes me wish my 17 year old son was 4 or 5 again, just for a day, so I could read this to him and his playmates one more time. Well, maybe grandkids someday.

Educational, funny, adventure. The kind of book parents enjoy reading again and again because we are the ones enjoying it.

Cute book for a small child age 3-6.

We had to leave my son’s The Snail and the Whale book in the UK so imagine the excitement when he received a replacement plus a new addition to his Julia Donaldson favorites, Tiddler!

This book is in my top five favorite story books for kids. The pictures are really fun to look at. There is a rhythm to this story that is not quite a normal poem, but it is really fun to read aloud.

Great story

I got this because my grandkids loved other books by this author and illustrator- The Gruffalo and Tabby McTat. It has beautiful illustration and the story is just complicated enough to keep them engaged and thinking.

I like all of Ms. Donaldson's stories, this is no exception. I loved reading it with my son, who like Tiddler has a big imagination. He is also a big fan of the animated series Octonauts and very curious about sea animals. All the lines in this story does not rhyme, most lines do. Did anyone else notice the gruffalo fish?

Love this book and the author, we can’t get enough!

This is my daughters all time favourite book she’s only two but has now read it with me so many times she knows it by heart, I pretty much have to read it every night. Beautifully illustrated and such a lovely story I can really recommend it to anyone Also look out for the hidden gruffalo

Cute story! My kids really enjoy this book.

Excellent story. My 7 and 5 year old grandsons love it and want to hear it again and again.

My 2 year old daughter loves this and wants to read it every night. We have most of Julia Donaldson's books and this is definitely her favourite. Previous reviewers have said that the story isn't quite as good as The Gruffalo or others but the variety of pictures is greater which is why my toddler seems to like this one the most. She likes naming or laughing at all the different fish.
