Book Description

December 29, 2003 4 and up
Smart and devilishly funny, here's a book to celebrate kids who know what they like and don't like, and aren't afraid to show it! Auntie wants a smile from Baby, but none of her attempts are working. She's trying harder and harder and, to Baby's horror, harder still-in clever, guffaw-worthy illustrations that almost need no text. Is there anything she can do to bring about a smile?

This irreverent, silly book was originally published as Smile for Auntie in the 1970s. With its bold, saucy drawings and ageless depiction of childhood honesty and independence (not to mention adult neediness!), it is just as fresh and satisfying today. If you've ever had your cheeks pinched, you'll hoot as Baby gets the last laugh. And with its appealingly small size and low price, this just might be the perfect valentine for that loved one with an offbeat sense of humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute classic, February 4, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: I'll Give You Kisses (Hardcover)
This has been one of our family favorites for almost twenty-five years. It is sitting on the shelf with the rest of the classics as we build a library for our grand daughter to enjoy. Not only are the illustrations delightful but the story hits a familiar tone in everyones heart. I am happy to see that it is available again for another generation of smiles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as Good as it was when I was little., August 7, 2009
This review is from: I'll Give You Kisses (Hardcover)
This book has been around since I was a little girl. I bought it as a gift for my older sister - for sentimental reasons. This book used to be called "Smile For Auntie" but the title has been changed...why? I don't have a clue. But the inside is the same as it always has been. Large great vibrant illustrations with adorable and whimsical characters and expressions. Auntie wants a smile from the baby and will go to any lengths to get one, but baby is just not willing to crack a smile for her, until she professes that she will just GO AWAY AND NOT COME BACK, then...and only then...does baby smile. Its adorable. This book arrived in pristine condition. Brand new with no marks. Every age group will LOVE this story. It's a super easy read with only one sentence per page, but every adult I have shown it to just laughs and falls in love with it.
