  • My favourite scene is at the bottom of the sea when we see the wierd monster fish because the illustration gave a spooky and scary atmosphere because of the dark colours and huge teeth. My favourite character is Tiddler because he is good at making up stories and excuses for being late- I wish I was as good as him!

    I rate this book 10/10 because of the great illustrations and a flowing story which rhymes. Another great book from Julia Donaldson!
