If you want to give a really special birthday surprise to a small person in your life, then this is the book to do it. Produced by Tickled Moon, the story is personalised to make the child a central character in the story. And what a story it is too! Imagine what it would be like if an enormous monster turned up on your birthday to surprise you by shouting, ‘Boo!’ – hmmm, maybe not quite the present you were hoping for.
Fortunately, our young hero is smart as well as kind and finds a way to make the monster feel at home. The lively text is great fun to read aloud and will be irresistible to youngsters when they realise they really are the star of the story (in a nice touch, you can even reference their favourite food).
With bright, bold colour illustrations by Jodie Wonford this birthday treat really delivers.
What happens when a lovable, hairy monster shows up to surprise your child on their birthday? But is it the birthday surprise that they really want?? They’d better watch out for the… BOO!!!

An original, rhyming, personalised Birthday story for ages 1-7. With fun personalisations including the child's name on the cover, spine and throughout the story AND their birthday, age, most wanted gift and favourite food.
“The Birthday BOO!” is available in softcover and hardcover on Tickled Moon’s website. There you can preview the whole book with your personalisations and listen to the story read by the author, Alison Reddihough.
Alison is the co-founder and writer for Tickled Moon, who create high quality personalised children’s books, with fun, fresh personalisations and original, rhyming stories.
Alison started out following her passion to be an actress and worked in theatre, TV, commercials and voiceovers for several years. Her acting work encompassed everything from the BBC, Miller and Shaw to a fairy, an ugly sister and a dalek! She then expanded into theatre production on the London Fringe, commissioning and producing new plays with her own theatre company.
After teaming up with her husband Simon Roberts, she then ventured into filmmaking with their company Amulet Films. They produced 3 short films, including “Ghosthunter” which was shortlisted for a Live Short Action Academy Award and became the subject of the book “How to Make Great Short Feature Films - the Making of Ghosthunter”.
As well as all her creative enterprises and becoming a mum to 2 boys (the toughest job of all!) Alison also trained in many varied complementary therapies, including NLP, aromatherapy, reiki and quantum psionics.
But throughout all of this she has always loved writing - poetry, plays, screenplays - and now, personalised children’s books with Tickled Moon. She looks forward to creating and publishing many more joyful and original personalised children’s books with them.
