Kisses!
Virgine Aracil
Board book
(Twirl, Aug. 6, 2019)
A loving celebration of the endearing bond between parent and child, Virginie Aracil's tender offering will become a bedtime favorite for young children. Each spread features a parent with their child, sharing different kinds of kisses: from a sweet little peck for a baby mouse to a ticklish nuzzle for a baby giraffe and a warm snuggly smooch for a polar bear cub. But nestled next to his mother, one little baby will get the biggest, most special kiss of all. The diecut pages are graduated—giving children a "What's next" sense of discovery ("Whose ears are peeking out?")—and sturdy, not only making this satisfying for little hands to hold, but ensuring that it will sustain the multiple readings this book is sure to demand. Kiss, kiss!
