About this title

Review:

"There are all kinds of kisses in the world... Good morning kisses, Boo-boo kisses, Good report card kisses, Great Aunt-Mary kisses--watch out for the lipstick!" A celebration of smooches, this Book of Kisses shows children the wide range of appropriate ways to show affection. Cute, colorful animal characters speak in cartoon-style word bubbles, with simple captions describing each kiss type. There are even some how-tos: For promise kisses, "first make a promise. Then kiss your pinky. Touch pinkies. Now you've made a promise kiss!" Dave Ross and Laura Rader, author-illustrator team for the popular A Book of Hugs and A Book of Friends, join forces again to take a humorous, lighthearted look at what is known around the world as qubla (Arabic), polibek (Czech), baiser (French), neshika (Hebrew), busu (Swahili), wen (Chinese)... the kiss! (A Kisses from Around the World chart is included.) (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
