Product Description
An Aboriginal tale based upon natural history facts. The giant frog, Tiddalik, drank all the water in the world and the only way to stop the ensuing drought was to make him laugh and spill the water. However, all the animals cannot raise a giggle until Platypus comes out of her hole.

Format:Paperback
this aboriginal explanation of drought went down extremely well with my nursery class. a book which can hold the attention of a large group of three and four year olds is difficult to fault...
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed this book. I liked the way it involved lots of different animals which I didn't know a lot about. The pictures were drawn really well and when I had finished reading it I read it again straight away!

A different sort of bedtime story!
5 May 2002
Format:Library Binding
A delightful version of the Aboriginal Dreamtime story from Australia. Bright, amusing illustrations that will interest you as well as your child. Tiddalik is a giant frog who wakes up one day with a giant thirst. So he drinks all the water in the world! All the other indigenous and exotic animals get together to think of a way to get Tiddalik to open his mouth and let out some of the water. They try jokes, silly faces, pranks, etc., but nothing works until the platypus hears all the noise and comes out to tell everyone to shut up. Tiddalik has never seen such a funny-looking creature, and he bursts out laughing and doesn't stop until all the water has come out. It's fun to see all the interesting and strange creatures from Australia in the colorful illustrations and should help develop your child's interest in unusual animals. Whether you've been to Australia or not, this is a great story for the youngster in your life!
