The Tremendous Tower of Tickles

4 min 43 sec

In the middle of Rainbow Room number twelve, a boy named Milo knpped his box of rainbow blocks and grinned like a Cheshire cat.
Each block looked like a tiny candy, striped with every color that ever existed, even the secret ones like bluish greenish purply.

Milo stacked one block upon another, humming a tune that sounded like a hiccupping frog playing a kazoo.
The first block went wobble.

The second block went wobble wobble.
By the time the tenth block balanced on top, the tower wiggled like a noodle doing the cha cha.

Milo whispered, “Steady, steady,” but the tower answered with a squeaky sneeze and leapt sideways.
Down tumbled the blocks, bouncing off Milo’s head, off his elbows, off his left big toe, each making a different silly sound: boing, bonk, bloop, bzzzt, burble.

Milo burst into giggles so bright that the blocks rolled back into the box, clicked the lid shut, and pretended nothing happened.
The classroom guinea pig, Mrs.

Whiskers, peeked from her cage and wheeked approval.
Milo bowed, tipping an imaginary top hat made of air.

Then he noticed something odd.
One block had stayed behind, glowing like a little lighthouse.

It winked at him.
Milo winked back.

The block hopped twice, inviting him to play again.
Milo scooped it up, felt it tickle his palm like a feather wearing sneakers, and decided this called for an even taller tower.

He tipped the box again.
Blocks spilled like rainbow popcorn.

Mrs.
Whiskers squeaked a rhythm.

Milo stacked to the beat.
One, two, three, four, up they climbed, past his ankles, past his knees, past the spot where his chin liked to hang out on lazy days.

The tower grew taller than the bookshelf, taller than the window, taller than the ceiling fan which whirred hello.
Milo stood on a chair, then on the table, then on an even bigger pile of picture books about polite pirates and disco dancing dinosaurs.

The tower swayed like a palm tree in a hula hoop hurricane.
Milo held his breath.

The glowing block jumped from his hand and zipped to the very top, where it spun like a ballerina on a banana peel.
Every other block began to glow too.

The tower became a glowing rainbow snake, humming a lullaby for giggles.
Milo felt the table beneath him wiggle.

The books slid.
The chair tap danced.

Mrs.
Whiskers covered her eyes with tiny paws.

Down came the tower, whooshing like a slide made of starlight.
Blocks rained around Milo, each one softly booping him on the nose before landing in a perfect spiral on the carpet.

The spiral spelled the word TEEHEE in block language.
Milo laughed so hard his belly button did the macarena.

The glowing block landed last, right on top of the spiral, and flashed a happy face.
Then all the blocks went quiet, color returning to normal, as if to say, “Thanks for the ride, pal.”

Milo wiped happy tears, gave Mrs.
Whiskers a carrot coin, and promised the blocks he would build them a castle next time, complete with a moat full of rubber duckies.

The blocks clattered with excitement.
Milo picked them up, singing backwards lullabies that made his tongue feel like it wore roller skates.

He stacked gently, learning the secret: whispering “please” and “thank you” made the blocks balance like sleepy cats.
Tower number three rose, shorter but stronger, wobbling only a teeny tiny microscopic smidgen.

Milo grinned.
Mrs.

Whiskers squeaked.
The ceiling fan slow clapped.

At last, Milo capped the tower with the glowing block, which now pulsed like a tiny heartbeat.
The room filled with warm vanilla light.

Milo yawned a happy yawn.
He curled on the carpet, using the spiral of blocks as a rainbow pillow.

The blocks hummed a lullaby about jellybeans riding unicorns.
Mrs.

Whiskers closed her eyes.
Milo dreamed of towers that tickled clouds, of slides made of moonbeams, of blocks that giggled in their sleep.

Tomorrow he would build again, but for now, the tremendous tower of tickles stood guard over his dreams, glowing gently, ready to tumble once more when morning giggles called.

Why this building block bedtime story helps

The story starts with a small wobble and turns it into comfort, so the problem never feels too big. Milo notices the tumbling blocks, then chooses a calmer way to stack them with patient words and careful hands. It stays focused simple steps, friendly sounds, and the warm feeling of trying again. The scenes move slowly from building to tipping to rebuilding, then settle into a quiet resting place. That clear loop makes the ending feel expected and safe, which can help bodies and minds unwind. A single glowing block adds a soft touch of wonder at the close, without any sharp surprises. Try reading these bedtime stories about building blocks with a low voice, lingering the gentle colors, the cozy carpet, and the sleepy hum. When Milo uses the blocks like a pillow, most listeners feel ready to drift off too.
