Helen Oxenbury's tremendously successful board book has a bright new look. Her simple text and lovable art make her one of the world's most popular children's book illustrators.
In Helen Oxenbury's Tickle, Tickle adorable baby characters find themselves in situations that will be very familiar to you and your little one. The book focuses on very simple scenes of playing, bathing, and brushing hair, and your child will love to watch babies their age engage in these common activities. The text is kept to a few words per page, which makes the lovely artwork central to the child's enjoyment of the book.
Children will absolutely love the scenes of babies doing their favorite things, especially getting dirty in the mud. They will also enjoy the feel of the book, since it is large and sturdy. Your baby will also be calmed by the sound of your voice as you read through the book's gentle rhymes.
When my little brother Thomas was a baby, he was the most ticklish child in the world. A highlight of the book for me was when I tickled him consistently just to hear his adorable little giggle. This book is a great opportunity to connect and be silly with your child, and by the end of the book, you'll both be laughing.

I loved reading this book to my son. It was perfect for his age because it was short enough that it held his attention and he loved looking at the babies! He also loved hearing all the actions the babies were doing and getting tickled at the end! :)
