Awarding-winning artist and animator Leigh Hodgkinson is the creator of this hilarious and heart-warming picture book, perfect for children aged 3-6.

Timothy Limpet feels out of place in the troll family – he likes things to be just so, and most trolls, frankly, don’t. Tabitha Lumpit likes things to be loud, loopy and messy and she feels like a fish out of water in her very neat family.

Sometimes they wonder if their families really see them for who they are, so when Timothy and Tabitha meet on the bridge they each decide the other’s family is a better fit and swap places . . . with hilarious and touching results.

Based around the time-honoured theme of ‘home is where the heart is’, this warm and witty story is a celebration of the individual and offers a valuable lesson on not judging others.

I liked that they swapped places and that it was funny the mummy and daddy thought the troll was Tabitha and the trolls thought the girl was Timothy. It was funny the troll and girl weren’t typical.

Yes I would recommend It was a story between a girl and troll where they swap their identities and release it’s not correct and goes back to same .

I learnt from the story that it doesn't matter from how you act it matters about who you are!

It was funny. The girl was silly and the troll was sensible. They had funny surnames.

I loved Timothy Limpet, the troll. The trolls were unkind to him, they were saying he was rubbish.

I liked this book because the troll was better at the job than the person was!
