Summary/Back cover:
When a grumbly Baby Bear refuses to give his father a goodnight kiss, their bedtime routine is transformed into a delightful game, as Daddy imagines all the different sorts of kisses that other animal babies give their dads: "'Now what about a big bear kiss for me?' said Dad. 'No!' said Baby Bear. 'No kiss for Daddy.' 'Oh dear,' said Daddy, carrying Baby Bear up the stairs. 'How about a koala kiss instead? Baby koalas give their daddies cuddly, clingy kisses, like this...'" This warm, affectionate story is perfect for children and their daddies to share!


Review:

This delightful series of board books is aimed at very young children. The bright pictures with their patches of different textures, are designed to develop sensory and language awareness. Babies and toddlers will love turning the pages and touching the feely patches.

Great little board book that is a nice small size, so easy for your baby/toddler to handle. The illustrations are big, simple and therefore easily identifiable. The patches are great and are an added interest for the littlies. The story actually starts on the cover (something I had to point out as it actually took me a while to figure it out). Fun, short read and as stated above, part of a series so if your child really likes it, you can grab more for them. 

4/5
