"Bedtime Kisses" is a delightful
slumber-themed counting book for bedtime reading ritual and enrichment. Soft,
pastel hues weave a sleepy cloud around pictures of beloved stuffed animals
(plus a doll) who each receive a special number of goodnight kisses from a
sleepy girl. Preparing herself for her mother's last goodnight kiss, the child
gives counted kisses to each beloved toy, starting with one kiss for the
croaking frog and ending with ten kisses for the night time raccoon. The
sleepy, counting rhyme is hypnotic and self comforting, while the variety of
toys/stuffed animals rounds a full gamut of differing presentations. One of the
best features about "Bedtime Kisses" is the child begins the ritual
of preparing herself for sleep upstairs alone in her room with her stuffed
friends, sure of her mother's last treasured good night kiss to come.
"Bedtime Kisses" will be a treasured bedtime experience shared
between sleepy children and happy parents.
