This book is a cute read along。 It is a good story to read to children。

We LOVE this book。 The three year old loves the repetition of the sloths SLOWLY kissing， and this was the book that revealed his interest in peacocks of all things。 I love how creative it is with all the different ways the animals are portrayed kissing， the soft illustrations， and the rhyme throughout （even though some times I do get tripped up）。 Absolutely would recommend this for everyone。

Threw it in the trash。 It’s for Pedos to groom kids。

Totally nitpicking but I feel like I would have liked reading about each animal if the book didn't rhyme。 It feels forced。 Totally nitpicking but I feel like I would have liked reading about each animal if the book didn't rhyme。 It feels forced。 。。。more

I was not a fan of this book the first time Mommy read it to me。 There are too many words on each page and I just like to flip。 She also kissed me too many times while we read， which was distracting。 But I keep going back to it because I like all the animal pictures。 I know what sounds and movements some of them make。 I especially love to hop like the kangaroo。 Since the book is long， there are lots of pictures for me to explore。

This is a good book to read when you haven’t hit your reading goal on the last day of the year。 Approximately 5 min read。 Highly recommend。

Cute read with rhyme narrative and vivid illustrations。 While this book is good， it doesn’t quite stand out to me。

This was a really cute story and perfect for my niece。 We love making the animal sounds （she's about 18 months old） and this story was perfect for that 。 She keeps bringing these books back to have them read again and again。 This was a really cute story and perfect for my niece。 We love making the animal sounds （she's about 18 months old） and this story was perfect for that 。 She keeps bringing these books back to have them read again and again。 。。。more

I thought this book was very cute。 Animals would kissed their loved ones goodnight and it showed how each different animal would do so。 I really liked the pictures in the book and recommend it for students to read。

Sweet！ But if a story is going to have fantastical element （animals kissing goodnight）， I prefer stories with solid lessons。

This is honestly one of my favorite books I’ve reviewed。 I used to work at a summer camp and would read it to the kids there。 Parents met me after to tell me how their kid would not stop talking about the book。 I love the meaning behind the story， as well as the bold colors one each page。 In my opinion the story would not work without it。

A sweet bedtime book。 Love that it includes animal daddies as well as mommies， and some parents of unnamed gender， too。

This children's poem is intended for ages 3-5。 It is a book that has a fun twist on how different animals say goodnight。 Each animal's illustration is detailed however there is no type of style or use of poetic elements。 The interesting addition that the author added was the sloths kissing very slow and repeating how slow in different parts of the book to exemplify its slow speed。 However， I didn't feel that there was a particular message。 It seems like more of a bedtime story that is playful an This children's poem is intended for ages 3-5。 It is a book that has a fun twist on how different animals say goodnight。 Each animal's illustration is detailed however there is no type of style or use of poetic elements。 The interesting addition that the author added was the sloths kissing very slow and repeating how slow in different parts of the book to exemplify its slow speed。 However， I didn't feel that there was a particular message。 It seems like more of a bedtime story that is playful and teaches children memorization。 Review Date: 8/07 。。。more

Can’t count how many times my wife said how adorable this book was while I was reading it aloud。Highly recommended from a new daddio。 Will definitely be reading this one until the book falls apart。

I was read this when I used to have a hard time falling asleep at night so since I had fond memories of it， I decided to reread it again as an adult。 This simple book explains how different animals would kiss goof night。 For example， the “Would and his pup would kiss and then HOWL！”。 Although， I liked it when I was younger， I do not think this is the best book for kids since it doesn’t teach a lesson， nor does it have very many literary elements incorporated into it。 Despite this， it could be a I was read this when I used to have a hard time falling asleep at night so since I had fond memories of it， I decided to reread it again as an adult。 This simple book explains how different animals would kiss goof night。 For example， the “Would and his pup would kiss and then HOWL！”。 Although， I liked it when I was younger， I do not think this is the best book for kids since it doesn’t teach a lesson， nor does it have very many literary elements incorporated into it。 Despite this， it could be a relaxing book for those who are high energy due to its playful art， rhymed verse， and sweet tone。 I would not use this in a classroom， but it could be useful to a young child who is just learning vocabulary and words。 Moreover， it could help them with memorization。 。。。more

This book is about how all the different types of animals kiss since they kiss much differently than us！ It always comes back to sloths kissing because they take soooo long to kiss！ At the end， it talks about how all animals go to bed at night when the moon raises and the sky goes black。 This is directed at kids not in school yet read by their caregivers or made for younger elementary aged kids。 This books rhymes in all the short paragraphs in a poetic way。
