Nayu's thoughts
This bright and bold read had me in giggles – I knew that tickling was involved in the story from the title, but just what happens was a surprise (which is good to see in picture books) It makes it slightly interactive, and given the exciting nature of the book I suspect that this isn't a winding down read before bed!

Available from bookstores including NRC affiliate Foyles. 

Suggested read
If dinosaurs is your thing, I think you'll enjoy Silly, Dizzy Dinosaur by Jack Tickle (Children's, Picture book, 10E/10E)
