I like that they all tickle the monster at the end
I really like the front cover, it gives lots of different texture of the places they explore. I like all the different wording used to describe the adventure and make it sound scary. I would say this is good for anybody and if you like look up, clean up, speak up and hey you, you are in for this!
A brilliant book for KS1, showing that there's fun and adventure to be had even just at home. Great to see Malorie Blackman writing something for younger readers.
I think this book is non-fiction because they’re in the house. I also like this book because it is adventurous.
Ticklish book
Super fun book. Definitely recommend it
It was really interesting because they went to the places using there imagination like the pet being a tiger.
I loved the poems where it said 'over the shimmering oceans and the huge high mountains'. I like the character called Charlie because she was so fun and so passionate.
I enjoyed this book because I liked that Charlie and Eddie had an amazing adventure using their imagination.

A fun, rhyming adventure full of energy and imagination. Bold illustrations and playful language make it perfect for ages 3–6. Great for read-alouds and inspiring creative storytelling.

My favourite character was the tiger, which was really the pet cat. I liked the pictures.
I liked Marcus because he was the monster and tickled them and at the end his family all tickled him.
Other people should read this book because its a nice story about adventures
I love this book because I get tickled at the end as well.
Interesting
Absolutely love this book! It feels like a modern-day version of 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'! The illustrations are beautiful and engaging, with lots of little clues hidden throughout about where the story is heading. Brilliant for inference and reflecting the realities of different communities in schools.
My favourite part is when they went in the monster's lair and the monster sprang up and roared 'tickle time'.
