[❂ Murder by Death]

Based on an Australian Aboriginal story, it's a cute story, and it's well illustrated, and it made me smile at the end.

I enjoy Dreamtime stories made accessible to all, they are quite entertaining and unexpected in their solutions and conclusions. Tiddalick hits all the right notes and is a quick and enjoying read.

If you are teaching an Inquiry unit about water it is a good way to incorporate Aboriginal stories into the content. It is good to teacher our students about dream time stories and incorporates Australian animals too. This is a great book to use!

Love it!

[Sean Benson]

The illustrations in this have aged really badly, but being a traditional story of the land it holds all the charm of the Dreamtime in an easy to read format.

[Lara Bate]

The frog drank all the water and in the end an animal makes the frog laugh and all the water flows out of him.

[Frances Coe]

A fun book suitable for EYFS and early KS1. Could be used in yr1 or yr2 literacy and children could write their own ending, as I felt there were other ways for the story to finish

[Jacquavius Demitrius]

This book is amazing!!! especially the koala because it is mighty fine

[Fatima Seraj Alam]

A more appropriate name would be Tiddalick the frog who caused a drought. Another dreaming narrative story that was fun to read. Although I wonder at the end why the frog felt ashamed.

[ShamSham]

Easy read.
