What are the giggles and what is The Giggler Treatment? The Giggles are tiny and stealthy beings who laugh quietly so as not to attract anyone's attention. They follow the children to make sure that the adults treat them well, and if an adult misbehaves, they apply the Giggler Treatment. This method is applied if they send the children to bed without dinner, scare them or are not sincere with them. What does the Giggler Treatment consist of? It is the sound the foot makes when stepping on something huge and sticky. Better open the book and watch where you step!
