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!

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".

All I have to do is say, "Time for bed - let's read Tickle Monster" and off they go running upstairs giggling all the way (even though I haven't even started tickling them). We have 4 kids and hundreds of books in our house. This one is our family FAVORITE, because it's such a fun way to end the evening after a long day of work and school.

The kids decided they like the Tickle Monster to get Mom too, so I usually get tickled from head-to-toe. Let's just say it's the most interactive, silly, goofy and giggly book on the shelf.

Tickle Monster does a great job of delivering anticipation. As you read through the clever, rythmic rhyming pages, the book builds up to a new body part that you will tickle. Our kids start squirming and laughing before the page is turned knowing that something somewhere is coming - but they don't know what!

I will be giving this book as a gift for future baby showers and birthday parties because it's a rare find that kids will remember for a lifetime.

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!

I brought this book for one of the many presents my son got for his 4th birthday. My son absolutely loves this book!!!! I have to read it everynight to him. I think it's well written, it's fun, and very sweet. My 9 year old daughter loves the book also.I think it's great for all ages. The pictures are beautiful. My only con is I didn't buy the gloves,because i think it should've come with the book,and not have been sold separtely.,

I met Ms Bissett at the LA book Expo. I stood in line for an hour to get a copy of the Tickle Monster signed for my 3 year old son. It was well worth the wait! She was as sweet and as gracious as I had hoped and I can't say that about every celebrity that was there signing books. In my opinion, The Tickle Monster is the best children's book I've seen in a long time. My son Ryan can't get enough! He get's laughing so hard that it makes me laugh! Thank you Josie Bissett!

My grand kids and I love this interactive book! From a Grandparents view any chance to kiss and hug and make my grand kids laugh is a treat. In reverse the kids love to try out the tickle thing with me too and I'm always so delighted. Hearing children's laughter is the voice of happiness... love the book!! Hope there are more to come!

This book has such a great lyrical rhythm to it. The illustrations are adorable. Who can resist a cute little blue tickle monster? My four year old son absolutely loves this book. The anticipation of each turning page is so much fun. He laughs and laughs! Even my one year old daughter gets into it. The laughter is positively contagious. Before long we are all laughing and rolling around. After everyone gets utterly exhausted from giggling, the book winds down and ends on a very calming sweet tender note. This makes it not only a fun book for play time but also a perfect book for bed time.

My Mom saved almost every book and toy from my childhood. She knew someday that grandkids would fill the house. As I go through her library of books there are a small few that radiate special warmth. The details have faded, but I can still clearly feel the love that was shared at the time of reading. My guess is that Tickle Monster will evoke that same feeling for my son when he's grown... that is if the book survives all our tickling! --Matt & Milo

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!
