Customer Reviews

One of our favorites..

I bought this book as a gift since my son loves it so much. He brings it up to us knowing he'll get kisses when we read it. It teaches children the parts of the body, and gives an excuse to parents to cuddle and kiss their "babies". My son is 18 months old, and still loves this book. He giggles as soon as we start to read it.

9/10 Daddies love to read Daddy Kisses

This is by far the favorite book so far for my daughter and I. She loves to sit in my lap and point to the words or animal daddies giving kisses to their little ones. This book strengthens the child's conception of father/child bonds. Good for your son too.

A Favorite

Very sweet book. I got this for my husband for Father's Day and it's a great addition to our library.

Simple, sweet, and touching

I just love these books. Anne Gutman's very, very simple tale is sweet and touching. The illustrations are by Georg Hallensleben, the same illustrator who did Gutman's Lisa and Gaspard series, and his slightly crude, yet charming use of color and quick seeming acrylic sketches are just brilliant. It's a vibrant book. Perfect for a toddler. I bought both of these for a friend's baby and I do hope the parents will enjoy them as much as the little girl will--I know I'd keep them if I could somehow justify having a book for babies in my library.

Wonderful little book!

My husband and son love to read this book together, and they've been reading it together since my son was brand new. Each page shows how a father animal kisses his baby, for example: Daddy wolf gives his pup a kiss on the nose. Of course the fun part is acting it out! The illistrations are simple and sweet as well. There is another book called Mommy Hugs that I get to read to our son - I highly recommend both.
