One of the benifits of having a husband who is a teacher is that occassionally he gets to bring home some books for the kiddos from school. He is on holidays at the moment and he has suprised Boo with a few this week. She loves the thought that the book we are reading before bed is from “the big kids at school.” I thought I would share a small review of one of these books with you and recommend that you hunt it down at your local bookstore or library.

Kisses for Daddy is about a grumbly little bear who doesn’t want to go to bed. “What about a big bear kiss for me?” says Dad. “No!” says Baby Bear. “No kisses for Daddy.” The book follows the adventures of this young bear and his daddy as they get ready for bed. The pictures are adorable and the text is playful and heart-warming, full of hugs and kisses. Boo has requested that we read the book everyday and the repeative text has meant that she is able to join in with the reading which, at three, she particularly enjoys. The book is a great one to read as part of any bed time routine.
