WALSH, Joanna. The Biggest Kiss. illus. by Judi Abbot. unpaged. S & S/Paula Wiseman Bks. Dec. 2011. RTE $12.99. ISBN 978-1-4424-2769-3. LC number unavailable.
PreS-Gr 2-"Kisses on noses, /kisses on toes-es./Sudden kisses when you least supposes" starts this endearing selection. The text goes on to describe myriad creatures who deliver and receive a variety of kisses in their own unique ways. The engaging rhymes are perfectly complemented by the colorful, whimsical illustrations. A wonderful cuddle-up-and-read choice.-Debbie Lewis, Alachua County Library District, FL
School Library Journal, November 2011
Walsh's rhyming text is full of cutesy rhythms: "Kisses on noses, kisses on toes-es. Sudden kisses when you least supposes." Sometimes the phrasing stumbles: "Who likes to kiss? I do! I do! Even the shy do. Why not try, too?" But toddlers and young preschoolers will probably not mind. They will be too engaged in spotting the lively penguin on each spread and too charmed by Abbot's winsome illustrations that fittingly extend the wording in the story. Patient dogs queue up for a smooch from a frog prince, cool blue " 'normous elephants" contrast strikingly with bright red "little tiny ants" and a bewildered monkey endures a smattering of lipstick kisses. Be the kiss small or tall, one to start or end the day, young readers are reminded that "the very best kiss... / is a kiss from you!" Perhaps no big surprise but comforting nonetheless.
