A keeper

This is my niece's favorite book from her childhood. I bought this one to save as a keepsake. It's a nice little story with a good message.

A snorting good time

As with all of the Devlin books, "A Kiss for a Warthog" is an absolute treasure for bedtime reading. The story language invites shifts in voice and sound that captivate. The book is a staple of bedtime reading at home.

This story is great for all ages

A Kiss For A Warthog is a wonderful book. As a child, I would make my mother read it to me over and over again. As an adult, I get the same childish delight in reading this book about a warthog awaiting a kiss from reluctant humans. This is a very well written book with great illustrations. I can't help but laugh everytime I see one particular picture in the book when Allegra the warthog is puckered up to receive a kiss- with all her whiskers and warts standing out! I will someday read this story to my children and grandchildren. This story is great for all ages and I thoroughly recommend it!
