This is a very sweet book that focuses on different animal fathers showing their love for their children by giving kisses. It is drawn with warm, calming colors, and each illustration is a celebration of love. The book also contains minimal text, so it's not overwhelming for small children.
The pairing of the illustrations and the small amount of text will introduce your little one to some important words. With each page, your child is introduced to the word for a body part and the name of that particular animal. The book provides an excellent foundation for developing vocabulary, and the small size is perfect for turning the pages.
The book is a great bonding tool whenever I am watching my nieces and nephews. When the animal kisses their little one on the nose or the ear or the paw, you can follow suit and give your reading buddy a little kiss or hug. By taking this time to connect with your child, you will create a loving and secure environment.
