Book Reviews of The Fish Who Cried Wolf

Book Review: Expected Better
Summary: 2 Stars

My wife and I are big fans of Julia Donaldson and have all her books with a couple of exceptions, so we expected Fish Who Cried Wolf to be up the the high standard she has set for herself. Unfortunately, this was a big disappointment. First, let me tell you what we liked; Axel Scheffler's illustrations are spectacular, and one of his best for a Julia Donaldson book. In this case however, she has let his art go to waste. What concerned us as parents was the flawed concept/storyline. The main character is a fish who is always late for school and makes up stories (lies) about his tardiness- hardly the habits we want to teach. If you are looking for an alternative, try the Gruffalo books, Room on a Broom and Charlie Cook, to name a few (I would give these 5 stars, BTW). I gave this book two stars, but only because of the artwork. Zero for the story.

Summary of The Fish Who Cried Wolf

From the award-winning team behind ROOM ON THE BROOM -- 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 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 . . .
