Now in paperback from the bestselling creators of Room on the Broom and The Snail and the Whale -- a very fishy story about very fishy stories!

The little fish Tiddler comes late to school every day, but always with an elaborate excuse that charms his classmates -- and annoys his teacher! One day, as he's thinking up his next story, a net sweeps him up and hauls him far away. How will Tiddler find his way home? All he has to do is follow the trail of his biggest, fishiest story yet!

For every parent or teacher who knows the boundless creativity of a perpetually late child, this book is sure to become the next read-aloud favorite from the bestselling author-illustrator team behind The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, and The Baddies.
