Tiddler [Paperback] [Jul 07, 2016] Scholastic Paperback – July 7, 2016

This is my favorite children’s author. All my grandchildren live her creative stories. The eight year old didn’t want to listen while I read but by page three he was snuggled up listening to every word. When asked if he liked the story he said I loved it.

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

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!

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?

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.

My 7 month old loves this book and think he will continue to as he gets older. And I don't get bored reading it several times a week

Another great book by JD. This lady is amazing. This is another remarkable story with great rhyming and beautiful illustrations. My almost 3 year old enjoys this book very much.

Another great addition by this author and illustrator. We own almost everyone of this team’s books, and our four year old adores them. The funny thing is noticing the subtle word differences between the original UK and the N.American versions. Honestly, most people in N America do understand these differences, and I wish they would not change them for North American readers.
