The Fish Who Cried Wolf
by Julia Donaldson,
illustrated by Axel Scheffler

Tiddler is late to school every day, and he always has an elaborate excuse for his teacher. One day, as Tiddler is thinking up his next story, a net sweeps him up and hauls him far away from his school. 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 telling excuses can turn into telling 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 a read-aloud favourite.
