Cute book

It'll have your children laughing the whole way through it. (note, not great for bedtime when you need them to calm down!) Simple adorable monster. Buy the mitts too, so worth it.

Great way to end the day!

Although we've only had this book for a week, Tickle Monster has already become THE favorite after school AND bedtime story for our daughters (ages 5 and 7). They love the adorable illustrations and can hardly wait to turn the page! It's a good thing we always read this book on the floor--the girls are always having so much fun and giggling so hard during the story, I'm sure they would just roll off their beds in laughter! What a great way to end the day!

Tickle Monster Memories

I recently acquired a copy of this fabulous little book (Tickle Monster) and have really enjoyed reading it to my son before bed. Initially after bringing it home it was not his first choice as he had his favorites that had to be read. Then, one night it was my turn to choose which book we were going to read and I decided that it was going to be Tickle Monster and since then it has become a fast favorite of his. We read it nightly even if he decides he wants to read a Bat Man book first - we always have to read Tickle Monster before he will settle down and go to sleep. And now that the (Tickle Monster Mitts)are available for purchase along with the book we have even more fun. This is definitely a book that will in fact create memories, but not only for your child but for you as a parent as well. I truly enjoy our time together and now we read Tickle Monster every night and then we play "Tickle Monster" every morning to get him out of bed as well. It is so nice to hear the laughter each night and every morning coming from my favorite "little man".

So much fun!

I read this book to my 2 year old cousin Zoe and she could not get enough! Even after I put it down she picked it up and went through just to look at the adorable illustrations. I love that it's interactive and can't wait until the mitts are available...I have a feeling that my hands will constantly be fuzzy and blue when I am around her!

Tickle Monster

I love, love, love this book!! It's such a fun book to read with children and can span many years of reading because it's so playfully interactive, all ages will enjoy it! It brings back memories of the most fun I had reading to my son. I am buying a dozen of these books to give to all my friends with new kids- I can't wait for them to enjoy Tickle Monster as they discover the fun of story time. Thanks Josie! For such a wonderful addition to our family of favorite books. Write another!!

Delightful - Endearing - Fun!

Brady (my 18 month old) loves this book - he giggles his way through it and loves the mystery of each new tickle area! This book is not only fun to read but interactive and engaging. We read it over and over and I just love to hear him laugh - he even starts screeching in anticipation of the next page. We BOTH have fun reading it!
