Find out moreAlison 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.

A young child is wrapping a present but, oh dear, it’s not easy – there’s glue and glitter everywhere. Then, just as despair is about to set in, ‘Kaboom!’, who should appear but a tall, strikingly clad reindeer with a sharp line in wrapping and rapping. Before you know it, everything in the house is wrapped, not just the present, but the tables, the chairs, the doors – you name it, our reindeer wraps it! Fortunately, some quick thinking on the child’s part sorts the problem out and leaves everyone set up for a very Happy Christmas. The story will have children giggling at the preposterousness of it all, and joining in with the rhyming (of course) text, but what will make it extra special is that this story can be personalised so that their name appears on the cover, and they are the child struggling with that wrapping paper at the beginning, and sorting our rapping wrapping reindeer out at the end. The team at Tickled Moon lead the field in personalised books for children and no wonder, their books are fun to read, lovely to look at and provide unforgettable reading experiences for children.

Produced by Tickled Moon this very jolly Christmas story can be personalised so that your own son/daughter/niece/nephew or godchild can take the starring role. They’ll be the child in bed woken up on Christmas Eve not by Father Christmas but a huge, hairy, seven toed though friendly monster. It’s the Christmas Boo, and his talent for surprising people is put to very good use in the climax to the story. This action-packed, brightly illustrated, funny adventure will make Christmas extra fun for children who will love finding themselves the star. They’ll enjoy spotting their name as it pops up in all sorts of places, while there are extra fun and games – a beetle to find on every page for example. For presents offering young book lovers something really special – at any time of year – it’s well worth visiting the Tickled Moon website.
Tickled Moon sure know how to create quality personalised picture books, with the customised elements seamlessly woven into the stories, illustrations and design. Given that you can also include a dedication, all the books in this range make perfect presents to be enjoyed together and cherished for years to come, with What’s That??!! being especially great for a pretty broad age range. One-year-olds will be captivated and set off giggling by Alison Reddihough’s lively, rhyming exclamatory text and Jodie Wonford’s bold illustrations, while readers up to five will adore the utter silliness, and perhaps even feel inspired to think up their own suggestions for silly things that would NEVER happen! From a boot in the fruit, to a sliver of moon on a spoon, to a shark in the dark, the book is a bedazzlement of absurdity. What’s more, with the facility to personalise it with up to four names, What’s That??!! is a sure-fire winner of a gift.

This is a book to make everyone smile a bit more, but junior members of your own family in particular. It’s published by Tickled Moon, out and out leaders in personalised books, which means you can put your two favourite young people at the heart of the story. And what a warm and comforting story it is. After a nightmare, a cuddle is guaranteed to make things better. As more and more people join in (a chance to add other family members and friends directly into the story), the cuddle grows, and by the final pages it is stretching round the whole world, linking everyone up in an outpouring of love so huge, it can be seen from space! The sentiment is lovely, the rhyming text lots of fun and the illustrations are packed with detail (look out for that dreamy dragonfly hiding on every page). A great book to share, while the magic of personalisation will make it very special indeed.
