It's your time to rhyme
About the Author
Hi my name is Naomi, I am a single Christian Lady in my early 40's. I have been writing poetry on and off for many years but recently decided that I had enough content in my work in order to get it published.
I then decided to combine my love of writing poetry with my love of working with children, in order to create children's books that are aimed at pre-school, reception and nursery aged children.
About the Character
Why Mr Tiddly Plonk I hear you cry?
Now let me tell you how the name came about.
Tiddly because he is small and Plonk as he is a bit of a plonker.
This is a series of stories about a young boy who tries his best to be liked by everyone. However he has a problem, Everything he speaks is spoken in rhyme which means that it is very hard for people to understand him and he gets a little annoyed. He hopes that there will be at least one person out there that would be nice to him.

Great For New Learners
​
The entire book is written at the perfect level for your new listener. It’s is wonderfully simplistic.
The topics are very pre-school/kindergarten. A great educational book too crammed full of great new vocabulary.
To top it all it rhymes.

Fun Book

​Creating a rhyming story that rolls off the tongue isn’t an easy task, and this book has done just that! It is a cute story, a pleasure to read. Tiddly’s a characteristic like to see do sequels!

Children Love It

​This book passed the acid test. My children love it. Mr Tiddly Plonk was having a hard time because he is different, but children soon warm to him. His talking in rhyme won them over. Everyone is different. Recommended.

Fun, Cute Mr. Tiddly Plonk
What a cute and adorable read. I just read this book with my little ones and they LOVED the name Mr. Tiddly Plonk. They enjoyed this book so much we immediately went and got the first book in this series which we had not known about. I am looking forward to reading this again and so are my children! Fun book!

What Birthday Surprises Await
​
Mr. Tiddly Plonk's Birthday by Naomi O' Shea is a fun read that will captivate young readers. Many of them will find it easy to relate to Mr. Tiddly Plonk. Birthdays are always special to kids and the author also gives ideas to parents on what can be done to make any child's birthday enjoyable by using the thoughts of Mr. Tiddly Plonk. The illustrations by Gusnia Catherina add to the fun element of the story and the birthday celebration thoughts of Mr. Tiddly Plonk and make it tangible for readers. It is a charming story that can be used for storytelling and read-aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries, and parents should have the series at home so that they can read it out loud to their kids.
​
Children will enjoy the illustrations and will love the way it rhymes. Perfect for younger children, but also for older children who are learning to read and will want to try and read it by themselves. Children will want to read the other books in the series after they've read this one too :)
