"My tired little baby, do you need a kiss?" A cranky, crying, sleepy little one is about to go to bed. But first she needs "ten little kisses on teeny tiny toes" and "nine laughing kisses on busy, wriggly feet" from Mommy. Daddy's ready with "eight squishy kisses on chubby, yummy knees." Grandma plants "seven loud kisses on a pretty belly button." And so on... Baby is passed from one member of the family to the next for her good night kisses, and even the dog and cat get into the act...Karen Katz's minimal text is engaging and filled with lots of love and charming descriptive words. Her bright and playful illustrations are large and inviting, rich in bold color and eye-catching shapes and patterns.Together word and art offer gentle, fun-filled opportunities to practice counting and to identify different body parts. Perfect for preschoolers as young as one, Counting Kisses is a sweet and heartwarming little book youngsters will beg to add to their bedtime ritual. "...two gentle kisses on tired closing eyes, one last kiss on your sleepy, dreamy head, and now it's time for baby's bed." |

I got this book for my older son when he was just a few months old. He is 2 now and this is one of his all-time favorite books. It's fun to read and what child doesn't love getting kissed? His baby brother also enjoys it when we read this book. My parents visited from out of state recently and I videotaped them reading a few books, this one included. My toddler asks me to fast forward so that he can hear his grandpa read this story and watch them on TV. We give this book often as a gift because it is such a favorite. |

I received this in a lot I won on eBay and I'm very glad that I did! It's very simple and short and my 18-month-old loves it. I've only read it to him about 5 times, but when I pick the book up, he knows exactly what it is and raises his little feet in the air poised for me to kiss. It is too cute! The only complaint that I have is that this is not a going-to-bed book at all as I think it's supposed to be read before night-night time. I do read it to him before bed, but if you have a kid that is hard to get to sleep anyway, you might want to skip it or read it during the day. All the kissing gets kids fired up and giggly, or at least for my toddler!
A kiss-and-read book starting with ten kisses on ten tiny toes down to one last kiss on his/her sleepy dreamy head. |

This book is a wonderful way to connect with your child as you shower them with love and kisses (not that we all don't do that anyway, without the use of a book). The looks on their face as you cover them with kisses and affection is worth more than you can imagine; priceless in fact. |

I bought this book for my daughter when she was four months old. From the first day she was absolutely captivated by the bright, colorful patterns in the pictures of this book. The story is so much fun and what baby could resist all those kisses? Now at ten months old she loves this book so much that I only have to recite the first line of the story, "My tired little baby, do you need a kiss..." or show her the cover of the book to elicit a huge, cheesy grin! After buying this book I was motivated to purchase several other books by Karen Katz. Her talent has made her my daughter's author/illustrator. Her books are the first chosen every time! |

Karen Katz is super talented as she zeroes in with perfect style to the task of communicating with babies and toddlers. The art is so unique in it's simplicity. Reading books with children is one of the most worthwhile activities a parent can spend time doing. I highly recommend the series of Katz books as well as Boyton's books to read over and over again with the little ones. |

My daughter is not quite two and she loves this story - she always pulls it out of her bookshelf - especially at night. The pictures are so big and bright. It really appeals to her on a lot of different levels:
- She can point to her own body parts to show where the baby is getting her kisses.
- She can count along with each page.
- She can identify many characters in the book (mommy, daddy, baby, puppy, etc).
- And she loves the kissing!
The store is just so much fun - even if you don't do the kissing bit with your own child there is still so much to benefit from this tale!
