5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for the kids and their parents, May 6, 1999

By A Customer

My daughter is crazy for Oxenbury's babies. The illustrations and text are a perfect marriage for toddlers. They can relate to the simple, every day message Tickle, Tickle relates..."gently, gently brush your hair". My daughter's favorite part is "tickle, tickle under there" when she gets a HUGE tickle from her dad or me. a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tickle, Tickle, November 27, 1999

By	Dan File (North Pole, AK) - See all my reviews

My 6 year old daughter and I love this book. She has regularly checked it out from the public library for the past several years. We have to read it at least twice before bed. She anticipates the last page... and of course, we have to tickle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for any age group, June 23, 2003

By	Janet Alman "Sammysmom" (Tewksbury, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not a child development expert, so I cannot give the technical reasons why my kids become so engrossed in these books. I can say this: both my daughters have loved all the books in this series (including "All Fall Down", "Say Goodnight" and "Clap Hands") since they were infants. It could be the soft oversized illustrations of babies engaged in familiar activities. It could be Helen Oxenbury's gentle rhymes. We were first introduced to Helen Oxenbury's books when the newspaper ran a list of "Must Have" books for different age groups. "Tickle Tickle" was recommended for infants and toddlers, but my oldest (almost four) still takes them out and stares at the pages. She has now memorized the words and "reads" them to her younger sister. I highly recommend all the books in the series, especially "Tickle Tickle"--a perennial favorite around our house.
