Stick Man and Zog.

The smallest fish can tell the tallest tales ...

''Sorry I'm late, Miss. I set off really early But

on the way to school I was captured by a squid.

I wriggled and I struggled till a turtle came and rescued

me.'

'Oh, no, he didn't.'

'OH, YES, HE DID.''

Tiddler is a little fish with a BIG imagination!

Every day he tells a tall tale.

But did he really ride a seahorse? Did he really

meet a mermaid?

And who will believe him when he really does get captured in a

net?
