Product Description
The little fish Tiddler comes late to school every day, but always with an elaborate excuse that entrances 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 shows how to channel that energy into stories to be shared with friends and family. With a bouncy, bubbling rhyme . . . . . . and vibrant undersea illustrations, THE FISH WHO CRIED WOLF is sure to become the next read-aloud favorite from the bestselling author-illustrator team behind THE GRUFFALO and ROOM ON THE BROOM.

 Cute story, rhyming is not great November 6, 2008
I think that this story is really cute but I don't think it was executed very well. The rhyming is a little off in that it seems that the words that actually rhyme are too far apart so you don't realize that it rhymes. Other than the rhyming, again it's a cute story, it's nicely illustrated, and my 18 month old son likes me reading it to him which is why I gave it 4 stars. I just don't like reading this book as much as I do some of the others that this author and illustrator have published.
 Your kids will love this book! October 21, 2008
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler quickly became my 3 year old twin boys' favorite author/illustrator team with wonderful books like The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, The Snail and the Whale, Charlie Cook's Favorite Book, Where's My Mom, and The Spiffiest Giant in Town. I even bought a set of these books for my 5 year old nephew because he loved them and asked for copies of his own. The Fish Who Cried Wolf definitely does not disappoint and is currently at the top of the Most Requested Books List in our home. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is engaging for kids as well as adults. I can read this story again and again and my boys never tire of hearing it as well as the other books created by this fabulous team of Donaldson and Scheffler. Definitely buy this book. You will not be disappointed.
Funny story of an unusual talent. July 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's THE FISH WHO CRIED WOLF tells of the smallest ocean fish who tells the tallest tales to explain his tardiness - until one day he really is caught by a fisherman. Can he use his storytelling abilities to escape? Hilarious fish drawings add personality and zest to the funny story of an unusual talent.
A bit thin of a story June 23, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great illustrations with lots of colorful, and biologically accurate fish. Very rich visuals.
The story, however, is a bit thin and doesn't have much of a moral to it--no one believes Tiddler the fish and, well, that's about the extent of the story. Probably enjoyable for a 3 year old, but for 4-5 is probably a bit simple.
Fabulous Book to Share With Your Child May 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My son got this book for his 3rd birthday, and it quickly became both his and my favorite. The story is a cute one -- a little fish named Tiddler tells elaborate stories about why he's late to school every day. Then one day he is caught in a fisherman's net and then lost in the ocean. Then he hears someone telling one of his tall tales, and he traces his own story back home.
The book rhymes and has repeating text, so even the smallest kid can "read along." The pictures are gorgeous, imaginative and full of details for little eyes to notice. The story is fun for kids and really very touching for adults. Put a child on your lap and read this with them . . . over and over and over again.
