About this book
In this touch-and-feel sound book, readers are encouraged to tickle the various animals and listen to the noise they make in response. Tickle the crocodile’s belly to hear it growl, or the flamingo’s feathery body to hear it screech. Plus you can hear a rhino squeak and a leopard roar – and there’s a treat on the final page that’s sure to get kids dancing.
There’s lots to celebrate about this popular Don’t Tickle the… series. The combination of sound with the touch-and-feel elements enhances the level of interactivity and will help to keep readers engaged. Rounded corners make the pages easier for little hands to turn and it’s lots of fun to have that connection between touching the different materials and hearing the animal sounds.. This book is a good option for early readers too, as the text is written in large font and is placed in straight lines across the page, which makes it easy to read and follow.
Look out for Don’t Tickle the Lion and Don’t Tickle the Pig too!
