Tickle the Duck! by: Ethan Long
















Ages: Baby - Preschool

The duck seems pretty stubborn about not being tickled at all. However, he proceeds to tell the reader where not to tickle him, including on his stomach, his foot, and under his armpit. The duck laughs every time he is tickled. Does the duck enjoy being tickled or not? Find out in Tickle the Duck!

Tickle the Duck! is a cute children’s book. The book has no plot, and is written for very young children. The text is very simple, and has the duck asking the reader not to tickle him by pointing to specific body parts. Children will be tempted and will want to tickle the duck. Each body part the duck points to has a texture. Children will enjoy feeing the different textures as they are tickling the duck. The illustrations in the book are simple and colorful. They show the emotions of the duck very well. Children are sure to laugh along with the duck in this book. Even I found myself laughing as I read through the book. Children will be able to relate to the topic of being tickled that is present in the book. This book will inevitably lead to the child and the reader tickling each other and trying to make each other laugh. Tickle the Duck! is a fun and interactive book that young children and adults will enjoy over and over.
