'Tickle Monster' is an interactive book and, by the nature of the story, bonds the parent and child through tickling and laughter.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first children's book, 'Tickle Monster,' was inspired by tickling my son one evening.
Tick is a cartoon character, I don't know if you're familiar with him. This is the third step in his evolution. Comic book to cartoon to, now, live-action.
I'm unbelievably ticklish. When I was a little kid, my sisters would hold me down and tickle me until I peed my pants.
You want to know what makes me tick, I'll tell you what makes me tick. I was a boy growing up in Brooklyn; I read a two-penny magazine called 'The Hawk's Nest.' Nobody entered that nest that didn't leave a little richer and a little wiser. And that 11-year-old boy said, 'Isn't that a wonderful thing.' And that's all there is to it.
I want to know about what makes an athlete tick.
'Monsters,' everybody has the thought of monsters in your closet as a kid, and more importantly, the idea of becoming a parent. We're always kind of looking for those emotional nuggets. They're always at the heart of the story.
My biggest job really is to figure other people out. I need to understand what makes a person tick.
The 'Tickle Monster' story literally flew out of my mouth.
I'm very ticklish. They say being tickled is a form of torture.
Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
