What if animals did what YOU do? This bestselling story imagines how animals would kiss their loved ones good night!
If animals kissed good night like we do...how would they do it? Giraffe and his calf would stretch their necks high, Wolf and his pup would kiss and then HOWL, and Sloth and her baby would move sooooo sloooowwwww. And across the animal kingdom, every creature would share love in a unique way.
There are probably not enough synonyms for ‘cute' to cover this survey of hypothetical smooches between animal parents and off-spring . . . The characters radiate unconditional love.―Publishers Weekly, Starred
The imaginative possibilities alone make this one stand out from the glut of sickly sweet bedtime books. Sure to send readers off to a gentle goodnight . . . after a kiss, of course.
Lively rhythm, effective sound words, and an ecclectic collection of toddler-pleasing animals all combine to create a charming bedtime book
Using soft colors Walker renders the nighttime rituals inventively, across pages and around panels, making this gentle book a satisfying bedtime selection
Mamabeer:
Omg this book is SO freaking adorable. Read it in the library over the summer and had to buy it for our son.
The first page goes "If animals kissed like we kiss goodnight, sloth and her cub, in late afternoon's light, would hang from a tree and start kissing...." Other pages: "tiger cub and mama would kiss and then growl... wolf and her cub would kiss and then howl"The story is beautifully rhymed, the illustrations are great, and not too overwhelming or abstract like some baby books, and it has this adorable refrain every few pages of "and sloth and her cub? STILL kissing goodnight!" ahh! just so freaking cute. Probably my favorite baby book I've found this year, and I try to make it more engaging for our son (because it's totally a mommy favorite) by lifting him upside down whenever they do the sloth refrain and giving him kisses, which he finds hilarious.

Let me start by saying I'm obsessed with children's books! I wanted all the classics that I loved as a child and I wanted to find some new favorites for our family. I was searching for best selling children's books and came across this one. So pleased that I decided to buy it, this book is the cutest! The illustrations are amazing!! I love the colors and all of the sweet animals. I can't wait to read this to my little one.
Laurel:Lovely rhyming bedtime book
Lovely book to read before bed, my 8 month old daughter enjoys listening to the rhymes and turning the words, the text isn’t too long so she doesn’t get bored and the illustrations are lovely too. One of those books you don’t mind reading again and again!
Donna Goodson: Lovely pictures, well read
This is a gorgeous little board book. My grandson loves animals so he can name them all and bonus isthat whoever is reading the book to him gets a kiss n a big cuddle when it's finished.
Tess:Lovely bedtime book
My son loves this book and we read it at least once a day! I was a bit tongue-tied the first time I tried to read it!! Good fun though. The print quality isn’t great though as you can see the pages have been trimmed badly (there are random letters and numbers along the edges). Shame but doesn’t affect the enjoyment.
