My four-year-old son checked this book out from the library this week. My son was drawn to this book because of the cover illustration. We've been reading I Love You, Little One, also by Nancy Tafuri, for about four years now. He recognized the style and wanted to read this book.All Kinds of Kisses is all kinds of perfect for baby showers. The text and artwork are perfect for babies and toddlers. It was a little young for my son, but he still really enjoyed it. Lovely! Another winner from Nancy Tafuri. This is an animal noises book, with large, colorful attractive animals which can easily be seen from across the room (perfect for storytelling!) A few of the animals have unusual or unexpected noises: "peep" for ducklings, and "eep" for baby mice, "sniff" for baby bunnies. Observant readers will note the tiny bluebird that flies across each page, as you "travel" through the barnyard and surrounding countryside many of the previously featured animals can be seen in the background. The final page features "the best kiss of all" with a Caucasian mother wearing a prominent wedding ring kissing a toddler to sleep.
What do You think about All Kinds Of Kisses (2012)?
A great snuggle-up bedtime story to read with your toddler. The illustrations are beautiful!
