Good quality book, in every respect
First, let me say from the top that this book is physically well-constructed. Strong pages, durable binding. Can't get better than that.

Each page has one sentence on it, counting down from ten kisses at the start to one kiss at the end. They also have (though this is subtle) a number of hearts corresponding to the number of kisses.

Very short, very simple, very sweet and (if you don't go overboard with your own kissing) very calm.

Counting Kisses. Read it, do it, love it! Priceless!
Even at five years old, my son loves it when we read Count Kisses. We read each page then count the kisses. We just fall into giggling, tickling, kissing fun. Daddy will even join in the fun. It's those moments as a Mom you will just treasure in your heart forever.

This book is just precious. Would make a GREAT baby shower gift. Who wouldn't enjoy sneaking in kisses on their baby's toes, knees, tummy, chin, hands, eyelids, and their precious round heads? Again and again and again?

The art is adorable, the writing is simple. The kisses are priceless.

Great book for babies and the illustrations are beautifully done. Love the grandma tickling the baby while the baby is pulling grandma's hair!! Just what happens with me and my grandbaby

A big hit with my 19-months old
My daughter loves reading this book, she learned the word "kiss" from it, so often she brings it to me or her Daddy saying "kiss-kiss-kiss" and delights in us reading it and tickling her with kisses. She also likes to recognize the baby, the cat, the dog in the book.
I kind of see what the reviewer who called this book "too wordy" is talking about - she uses a new adjective to describe a kiss every time (loud, wet), we naturally don't go drooling on our daughter to make that happen, so we could do without the descriptions, but it does not in any way take away from the enjoyment of the book.
I like the fact that it also teaches numbers and body parts.
Overall, a great value and one of the nicest baby books, interactive seems to be a safe bet with most babies!

Another great one from Karen Katz
Karen Katz is my favorite young children's author. Her books are very colorful and encourage interaction between the child and the reader.

This book has helped my 18 month old son learn his body parts (we kiss the body parts as we read each page) and also is helping him learn to count to ten.

He laughs every time we read it together, especially when it's time to kiss his "teeny tiny toes"


This book can hold his attention for longer than most books, and can easily stand up to my little "book villin" who loves to rip out the pages.

I love to read it to my grand daughter. She is 5 months old and starting to pay attention.

fun and adaptable
My mother got this book as a gift for my son.... he is almost 20 months old. While we eventually will read every word, and do the counting, for now, we just look at the pictures and I give him a kiss on that spot. So now we are working on naming body parts and sitting still through a book. Later we will get to the counting and the flowery words. Fun book.

My daughter loves this
My daughter is nine months old, and this has been her favorite going-to-bed book for a while. She likes to look at the pictures, and is always giggling by the time we get around to the kisses on the belly button.

Great Book
This is such a fun book to read to your child, and you can do all the same things as the book.
It's adorable, I love it!!

Lovely

I live alone with my daughter Ala, and her older brother Roger. I bought this book for Ala when she was fourteen months old. From the first day she was absolutely captivated by the bright, colorful pictures of this book. The illustrations are rich and engaging. Ala always pulls it out of her bookshelf before going to bed. This is a great book to develop a nighttime routine with. I hope this book will be something she'll always remember when going to sleep. Another book that I highly recommend, especially for older kids, is Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3)
