Reviews

"I love sweet Tickles!  Simple rules of friendship!  Tickles is inspiring and teaches a perfect lesson for youngsters to learn about making friends."

"Kate Drag's, "Tickles the Cactus", is a warm and elegant story about a universal theme-how to be a good friend.  Younger and older readers alike will enjoy this story of finding a connection in a lonely desert."

"I absolutely loved the book!  The illustrations are so sweet and fresh!  Even though they're reading about a cactus, children can relate to Tickles' struggle.   Most importantly, Tickles is kind.  It's a "read over and over" book for sure!
