My sons and I are huge fans of the Donaldson/Shaefller books.

The prose in Tiddler is beautifully structured. I find the best kids books have a real rhythm to them and these increase the enjoyment level of both the adults and kids.

The beautiful artwork will engage even the smallest child,(mine especially loved the Gruffalo-fish!).

A good choice for bedtime. (

I loved this book, the illustrations were very colorful. Very imaginative story of a fish. I think this would be great for all children and fun for adults to read aloud. This book promotes storytelling, because without it the little fish may have never made it back to school. It shows how stories are passed from fish to fish. Very cute book I would recommend to everyone. (

Tiddler is a fish who's a liar-liar-pants on fire! He's late for school every day and always has some tall tale to tell about what happened to make him late. But one day, he really IS late for school for an exciting (and scary!) reason. When he finally gets home, no one believes him.

Fairly innocuous retelling of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Children who are especially interested in fish and the ocean (or who have just seen "Finding Nemo") will probably especially appreciate pooring over the detailed illustrations. There's nothing special or terribly unique in the narrative, though. (

Book description

Small fish makes up tall stories every day about why he is late for school. Nobody believes him. Eventually he lives through a real story as he is caught by some fishermen in their net, released back into the sea and then becomes lost in the middle of the ocean. Eventually he finds his way home (and back to school) by following a string of sea creatures who have all heard his tall stories and thus working his way back to one of the first creatures to have heard his stories (the grandmother of his school friend).
