Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–A little lamb's birthday dawns sunflower bright, with a special gift, a kiss, and a request from his loving parent: "Won't you be my kissaroo?" Colorfully clad animal friends are just as lucky, receiving special kisses ("A morning kiss... full of sun.... A breakfast kiss... nice and sweet.... A hello kiss... soft as rain...") from their own caring grown-ups. Sweet's large, charmingly simple watercolor, pencil, and collage pictures have an appealing primary-grade sensibility and are awash with a golden-sunlight glow and a sort of innocent awe. They combine beautifully with Ryder's easy rhyming text to invite readers to join the bear, bunny, butterfly, puppy, kitten, and funny frog in red boots who gather to surprise their woolly friend to celebrate his happy day. Finally, the sleepy-eyed young sheep is tucked into bed, and, while fireflies punctuate the night-blue sky outside his window, he receives a cozy kiss and a reprise of the question of the day: "So... Won't you be my kissaroo?/And every day, the whole day through,/we'll share new kisses.../me and you!" A feel-good choice for sharing one-on-one or with a group, and a high-quality addition to the kisses-and-hugs collection.–Kathy Krasniewicz, Perrot Library, Old Greenwich, CT

PreS. On her birthday, a young sheep wakes to a present and lots of kisses from Mom. As she strolls through the neighborhood, she sees other animal parents and their offspring sharing kisses and cuddles, too. A gentle, rhyming text describes the different types of kisses she observes, from the sticky kiss mama and baby bear share after a sweet honey breakfast to the silly, wet kisses Puppy gives his parent. There's also a sense of the natural progression of a day, from sunrise ("A morning kiss is full of sun / and wishes for the day to come") to sundown ("A bedtime kiss will tuck you tight / and keep you cozy through the night"). In addition to supporting the concepts described in the text, Sweet's cheerful watercolor-and-collage illustrations depict a simple story line in which the young sheep is treated to a surprise birthday party thrown by her animal friends. Pair this with Time for Bed (1993), Mem Fox's lovely animal tale of parent-and-baby bedtime snuggling. Lauren Peterson
