In this hilarious touch-and-feel book, a cranky duck dares children to tickle his soft stomach, his hairy armpit, his rubbery foot, and reacts uproariously each time. Despite his protests, does the duck really like being tickled after all? This modern day version of Pat the Bunny will have its audience laughing, and maybe even snorting, "Do it again!" Like Ten Little Lady Bugs and Tails, this treasure of interactive fun is sure to engage parents and children for hours of tickling and giggling.
Author Ethan Long has illustrated a number of children's books. He lives with his family in Florida.
Are you ticklish? This duck sure is!
Like Pat the Bunny, this book invites little fingers to explore textures, but unlike the '40s classic, this modern send-up has attitude. A cantankerous duck warns the reader not to tickle his feathery belly or rubbery foot. Kids will, of course, and the crabby bird alternates between laughter and vehement demands to "STOP TICKLING ME!" That is, until they do. "Well, come to think of it," Duck responds meekly, "maybe you could just tickle me a little right here." (ages 2 to 4)

July 18, 2006: My 2 yr old grandson loves this book. He is very into books that allow him to feel soft, fuzzy items. I borrowed it from our local library and now I am buying him a copy for his birthday. (I think it is funny too).
