Type: Picture Book
ISBN: 978-1886910850
About:
Lisa, a young raccoon, tells her daddy as she going to sleep that she wants a kiss. He asks her what kind of kiss does she want and lists many possible kisses like mom kisses, vacation kisses, witch kisses, etc. Lisa says she wants a goodnight kiss.
The book is written with large print and few words on each page for the young reader. It contains ellipses before each type on kiss listed on each page (“…a vacation kiss?”) to lead the reader easily from one page to the next. It ends with a sweet detailed expression of just what a goodnight kiss is. The raccoons as the main characters make this an animal fantasy. The theme of this book is how precious a parent’s love truly is.
The illustrations are bright detailed full-page spreads. They are painted and use the brush stroke to suggest movement. The details in the pictures are more important to the book than the simple text message that accompanies it. The pictures really tell the story and show the expressions of the characters in each situation.
