What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and grounded in a safe, loving domestic environment.
Ideal Reader
A toddler who is beginning to identify body parts and loves physical play. It is also an excellent recommendation for a new father looking for ways to engage with a non-verbal infant through sensory reading.
Parent Prep
This book is best read 'warm' rather than cold: be prepared to physically act out the tickling described in the text to maximize the multi-sensory experience for the child. A parent might reach for this after seeing their child become restless or 'bored' with traditional toys, or when they want to recreate the specific magic of a 'tickle fight' in a structured, literary way.
