"Jeram uses rich, velvety hues to create a warm homely feel, while Hest's words perfectly complement the scene. A perfect bedtime read on wintery nights." Junior

Product Description

One dark and stormy night, Mrs Bear is putting Sam to bed. "Ready now, Sam?" she asks. "Oh no," says Sam. "I'm waiting." So Mrs Bear reads Sam his favourite book. But he still isn't ready. So Mrs Bear tucks the red blanket around Sam and makes him a nest. But he still isn't ready. And he's not even ready after a glass of warm milk. What can Sam be waiting for? His kiss goodnight of course! This cosy, loving story builds up to a delightful climax that every child will love anticipating and re-enacting with their own parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful bedtime book!, June 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kiss Good Night, Sam (Hardcover)

This book was given to my son as a gift and it is now his favorite book! The bright colors grabbed his attention early on (around 6-7 months) and now that he's 1 yr old, he can relate to the message. It's a great book for a mother and a son to share with a great bedtime message. I'd recommend this book, as it's been a wonderful edition to our evening story time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Story, Good Memories, December 8, 2004

By	Steve Bennett "stevebenett" (VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kiss Good Night, Sam (Hardcover)

I've been reading this to my son for the last couple of months. He loves it and I enjoy it too. He starts to ask for kisses again, just like in the story, and it makes for fond memories.
