5.0

out of 7

5.5

Reading a book about kissing to a toddler is the perfect opportunity to dispense and receive at least a kiss or two, if not more. In this story, a little penguin explores the world of kissing from 'normous to tiny, tricky, high and low, and everything in between. The animal antics in the colorful illustrations are clever and entertaining. I wouldn't mind at all if this one were requested again and again.
