Don't Tickle The Pig! by Sam Taplin

Don't Tickle The Pig! by Sam Taplin is a novelty book for young children, centred on a simple interactive concept: tickle the pig and it might oink. Designed for hands-on play, each spread encourages children to press soft, touchy-feely patches to activate a variety of farm animal sounds.

The book moves from animal to animal, featuring a pig, cow, sheep and horse. As children “tickle” each one, they can hear the corresponding noise. The final pages bring the animals together, combining their sounds with a humorous rendition of Old Macdonald Had a Farm.
