Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-Baby Hippo forgets to kiss his mama good-bye before he goes off to play. As he walks through the jungle, he sees other animal babies kissing their mothers, so he returns home and makes amends. The large, lushly detailed paintings feature bright backgrounds and a cast of appealing creatures, including lions, elephants, and zebras, which will be easily identified by young listeners. With a rounded body, a slight curl to his stubby tail, perky cartoon-style eyes, and a pink blush on his cheeks, Baby Hippo is endearing. The brief, repetitive text and artwork are well suited to a crowd, making this a natural for lap-sit programs. While there are many books about parent-child love and separation, the accessibility of this one to the very young, ESL families, and even beginning readers should earn Kiss Kiss! a place on library shelves.

From Booklist

PreS. When Baby Hippo wakes up, he is in such a hurry to go and play that he forgets to give his mama a kiss. As he waddles through the squelchy mud, he hears "Kiss, kiss!" and he sees a mama elephant kissing her baby. Around the bumpy, lumpy rocks, he hears "Kiss, kiss!" again, and he sees a rhino and its baby. In the long, long grass, a papa lion and his cub are kissing; then he sees a zebra and a chimp and their babies. Sure enough, Baby Hippo retraces his steps to do what he has forgotten to do, "Kiss, kiss!" his mama. Like Wild's Our Granny (1993), this is a story filled with movement and physical affection. The lap-sit audience will love the squishy, lumpy sounds and the repetition of the text as they point to the animals in the clear, bright pictures. Hazel Rochman

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My 6-year-old is learning to read, and the repetition in this book gives her reading fluency a little boost. My 3-year-old daughter is not talking quite as fluently as she should, and this book is helpful for her because of 1) word repetition, 2) texture words with pictures that match, 3) prepositions such as over, under, behind, through, and so on. Both girls love the bold artwork.

This review is from: Kiss Kiss! (Hardcover)
My 17 month old granddaughter loves this book, and I love reading it to her. She likes to make the sounds of each animal. The pictures are great, and it is easy to read with expression. We read it several times a day and every night before going to bed. I highly recommend this book.
