(Ages: 2-6) Sam Lloyd's vibrant multi-coloured dinosaurs bring to
life Pamela Butchart's rhyming picture book, YIKES,
Ticklysaurus!
All of the dinosaurs are bored and glum on a hot day in their muddy
swamp home. Brontosaurus wants something fun to happen. One of his
friends, the big, purple and yellow Ticklysaurus know just what to
do. It is time for a game of Tickle Chase, yikes! Brontosaurus is
the first to be caught and in the excitement, does a wee. Tickly's
arms reach everywhere up to the tree where Pterodactyl is hiding and
into Stegosaurus's cave. No one is safe from the spaghetti arms of
the Ticklysaurus with a tickle, tickle, wiggle, giggle each of the
friend's is found except for T. Rex. No the funny dinosaur can't do
it, so he turns to tickle you!
A humorous read aloud story for families, kindergartens and
preschools to share.
