Great stories for bed time

I love these books and so does my 5 year old daughter. They are great stories.

Momo doesn't like kissing!!

Momo is a cute little monkey who lives in a Babar-like jungle created by Emma Chichester Clark, the author/illustrator of the Blue Kangaroo books. In general he is a very happy little monkey ,,,, until the kissing starts! Kissing everywhere, all the time, for this and that, hello and goodbye, morning and night. Momo tells everyone he knows, "No more kissing!" But it doesn't do any good. He cannot understand why everybody likes it so much .... until his little brother smiles at him.This is a sweet book for little ones who don't like kissing, or new big brothers and sisters, or even babysitters.

great boy's book

I remember hearing these stories as a child and loving them, now my son is loving them too. I would recommend these to kids ready to listen to simple chapter books. The stories are cleverly written so adults can enjoy the reading too. We like to read this series aloud to the kids, and if you read one they will want you to read all of them! Some nice illustrations accompany the stories.

Kissing is Monkey Business

Momo is a little monkey who is disgusted by all the kissing he sees around him, from relatives, parents and children, even strangers. They kiss for every reason, and for no reason at all, and finally he orders everyone in his household to stop: "No more Kissing!" It makes no difference at all, so he takes comfort in the fact that at least he is not a baby, because babies get the most kisses of all. Then one day he tries to comfort his new baby brother, and a very amazing thing happens! This colorful jungle tale is funny and silly, with just the right amount of tender sweetness. The illustrations are watercolored, and the lettering is hand done, but very clear. The monkeys look a little like Curious George, but have much more expression. Whether you like or hate kissing, this book is a winner.
