Josie Bissett (of Melrose Place fame) has written a children's book.
It sounds terrifying. And confusing. Do you put on the mitts and then tickle your kid through holes in the book? That sounds... awkward. Or do you just put on the mitts and just chase the kid around the house? That sounds... well, let's just not go there.
Also, he's a "loveable monster with big puffy mitts has just flown in from Planet Tickle"? Wouldn't that make him an alien rather than a monster?
It's possible that I'm missing the point.
Hmmmm, So, is this encouraging us to chase our children around with big fake freaky hands on, tackle them and tickle them until they either yell "Uncle" or pee all over themselves, because we love their laugh? Yeah, that does sound a little terrifying. and that she wrote it...well that is terrifying too. It is almost as bad as The Bunny Stalker (Runaway Bunny)

Boris!
Sam Lloyd wins at life.
