Boo Hoo and the Tickle Monster
Meet Boo Hoo-a very small ghost with some VERY big feelings.
In a pumpkin-lit town where crooked trees grow, Boo Hoo can turn the tiniest trouble into a great big BOO HOOOOOO! A crooked costume? Boo hoo! A dropped candy corn? Boo hoo! A pumpkin with a not-quite-perfect smile? You guessed it... BOO HOO!
Then, out of the fog comes a big blue monster with ten wiggly fingers, one giant orange shoe, and a wonderfully silly idea.
Boo hoo in. Whoo hooooo out.
Give that sad a little-
TICKLE! TICKLE! TICKLE!
And let it wiggle right out!
Soon Boo Hoo discovers that some little disappointments really can feel smaller when we stop, breathe, laugh, and look at them in a different way. Before long, this tiny ghost is learning to handle those everyday sads-and even discovers that helping a friend can feel pretty wonderful, too.
But when Boo Hoo loses something he truly loves, the sadness that follows is different. This one is heavy. Quiet. And much too big to tickle away.
That's when the Tickle Monster teaches Boo Hoo the most important lesson of all: not every sad needs to be fixed. Sometimes, the best thing a friend can do is simply stay.
Filled with glowing pumpkins, moonlit streets, laugh-out-loud moments, irresistible read-aloud refrains, and two lovable new friends, Boo Hoo and the Tickle Monster is a heartwarming Halloween story about friendship, empathy, resilience, and making room for big feelings.
Young readers will love chanting TICKLE! TICKLE! TICKLE! while parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers will appreciate the gentle message underneath the giggles: some feelings pass, some feelings need time, and all feelings deserve to be heard.
Perfect for Halloween storytime, classroom read-alouds, bedtime snuggles, and children learning how to understand and express their emotions.
Because sometimes a sad needs a giggle...and sometimes it just needs a friend.
