«Tongue-Tied!» is Paul Jennings's collection of children's stories, published by Puffin in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Eight zany stories featuring children: one keeps his deceased mother's hat, a court decides the fate of a smelly dog, and an old man gives new meaning to «talking through one's backside». There's also someone who swallows a live fish, sees bugs in hail or has glowing teeth, and a birthday gift complicates what a kiss is.
It is Paul Jennings's tenth story collection; recommended reading from age 9.
Aimed at child and young adult readers who enjoy strange, grotesque tales with zany humour.
