Best Ever Kissing Board Book
February 12th, 2010
Quack, quack, quack!
There’s a new baby in the barnyard, and each animal wants a chance to tickle, feed, serenade and kiss the baby: “I sang to the baby! Did you sing to the baby?”
If you like Karen Katz, this isn’t for you. There’ s no schmaltz or sentimentality that appeals to adults only.
But there is an incredible abundance of joy and love that the author conveys thorough the simplest baby-captivating illustrations and toddler-friendly rollicking prose.
And I can attest that my son has loved this since about three months, while I have loved it since sight.
Because all the best books end in smooches. And a lot of quacking.
I Kissed the Baby! by Mary Murphy (Candlewick, $9)
