Great for Learning Readers

This is one of the first books that my son has memorized almost every word of. I love when he "reads" it to me. Yes, it is just a memorization thing at this point, but when they already know what it says, they easily start to recognize the words. Also, the pictures in this book are perfect cues to help kids remember what the page says. What's better than your toddler demonstrating all the kinds of kisses? I can't think of anything.

Imaginative!

When Lisa asks her imaginative father for a kiss, an adventure begins where all shapes and sizes of kisses abound. This book offers a good bedtime story for young readers. Children will enjoy the father's overactive imagination and the playful illustrations.
