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.

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
