My husband and son love to read this book together, and they've been reading it together since my son was brand new. Each page shows how a father animal kisses his baby, for example: Daddy wolf gives his pup a kiss on the nose. Of course the fun part is acting it out! The illistrations are simple and sweet as well. There is another book called Mommy Hugs that I get to read to our son - I highly recommend both.

I just love these books. Anne Gutman's very, very simple tale is sweet and touching. The illustrations are by Georg Hallensleben, the same illustrator who did Gutman's Lisa and Gaspard series, and his slightly crude, yet charming use of color and quick seeming acrylic sketches are just brilliant. It's a vibrant book. Perfect for a toddler. I bought both of these for a friend's baby and I do hope the parents will enjoy them as much as the little girl will--I know I'd keep them if I could somehow justify having a book for babies in my library.

I bought this book as a gift since my son loves it so much. He brings it up to us knowing he'll get kisses when we read it. It teaches children the parts of the body, and gives an excuse to parents to cuddle and kiss their "babies". My son is 18 months old, and still loves this book. He giggles as soon as we start to read it.

I got this book at the library and our 20 mo. old daughter loved it so much I had to buy it for her. She wants it read to her over and over.
The illustrations are beautiful and it helps her to learn body parts, too.
A great book for toddlers!

This is by far the favorite book so far for my daughter and I. She loves to sit in my lap and point to the words or animal daddies giving kisses to their little ones. This book strengthens the child's conception of father/child bonds. Good for your son too.

Very sweet book. I got this for my husband for Father's Day and it's a great addition to our library.

A wonder little book for fathers and sons, just right for a toddler's attention span and with beautiful artwork. My son picked up on the "game" in this book rather quickly, and enjoys it very much.

Five-year-old Down Syndrome twins choose this book over and over on their nights with Daddy. Beautifully and simply reinforcing. It makes them laugh and it makes me cry.

Since my 18 mth old son's father doesn't live with us, I read him this book pretty often to remind him how much his daddy loves him. His dad reads it too him sometimes too when they're together. It's also helping him learn his animals,(lion,bunny...) and I think it's good to show him that daddies take care of their babies, just like mommies do. This is a short, sweet book that can hold my son's attention

I got a number of new books for my boy in yesterday (including a very impressive dinosaur pop-up) but after going through all the new books, my boy picked this one out and said it was his favorite. I've got no problem with the vast majority of books being about mom, but it's very nice to have a daddy book! Would buy again at twice the price
