Tiddler
by Julia Donaldson
Tiddler is a charming picture book about a small fish who is always late for school because he gets distracted telling tall tales and fantastical stories to sea creatures he meets along the way. When Tiddler gets lost in a net, his creative storytelling becomes the key to finding his way back home and proves that imagination can be both entertaining and useful. The story celebrates creativity, storytelling, and the power of imagination while gently addressing themes of punctuality and self-acceptance.
