Summary[]
Mr. Tickle's story begins in his bedroom, waking up in his bed and having a quick bite to eat, using his extraordinarily long arms to get a biscuit from the kitchen and go back to eat it.
He then decides that it looks like a tickling sort of a day, so he goes out to town tickling people - a teacher, a policeman, a greengrocer, a station guard, a doctor, a butcher, and a postman named Mr. Stamp. He causes a lot of chaos in the process of doing this.
Mr. Tickle goes back to his home at the end of the day to reflect upon and laugh about all of the people that he tickled.
