The energetic, brightly colored illustrations and diverse cast of characters (a biracial family, a girl in a wheelchair, a baby with two dads) will appeal to a wide variety of readers.

Well, I think it is soooo sweet! 5 kissy stars to this precious children's book about all kinds of kisses a little one might get. I would love to have a copy of this one and most grandparents of toddlers would be very pleased to get this as a Christmas gift this year! It would be a fun read to share with little ones (and share the kisses too!)

I loved each and every one of the illustrations. I highly recommend this book! Many thanks to Sheryl McFarlane and the publisher,Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, for a digital ARC to read for review.

Cute, but not my favorite picture book. I liked the illustrations and diversity of characters.

I read this one pretty quickly because it is the same line over and over! I thought it was a cute concept but poorly executed. There is not much to say about this one because even being a kids picture book there was nothing to it. I did enjoy some of the pictures but that was about it.

A love letter to families! Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.

Who knew there were so many occasions where kisses are planted?

"I love kisses.
I'll be you do too!'"

The unfolding of these kissfests and the diversity of the people who deliver them make this book exceptionally fun and a huge winner. Wee ones will identify with all of the scenarios proposed I'm sure.

Kisses wake you up in the morning, licking puppies and drooling baby brothers are happy to contribute. Kisses are the perfect bandaid for bee stings and boo-boos that are hurtful, and on special holidays are celebrated when family and friends gather together. Sadness, can't stay mad at you, and good night/sleep tight kisses are always the best to receive as they transfer care and healing to those in need.


The digital illustrations are colourful, expressive and add a lovely richness to the text. The best news of all? Kisses are given from heart to heart and they are absolutely free. This is a wonderful book that shows how love is expressed and appreciated.

(Of course when the book is shared together be sure to sprinkle lots of hugs and smooches to your little one to drive the message home. Home is where the heart is and the best kisses of all!

This is a lovely little book and one that I read with my daughter. It has various types of kisses such as goodnight kisses and new puppy kisses (we normally do rubbing noses)! The images are lovely and I loved that the images have families with different ethnic backgrounds and different lifestyles and beliefs so it can really be a book for all. Highly recommended for young children.

A simple book that lists various type of kisses such as goodnight kisses, new puppy kisses, and even raspberry jam on cat kisses. What really sets this book apart is the illustrations. They feature types of family, both racial, able, etc. Most kids could find someone, or a family like they see at home every day. I great book for a young child.

A cute book about all the different kinds a kisses that a child receives. The rhyming repetitive style and bright illustrations will appeal to toddlers. A great book to read while giving hugs and kisses to your child or grand-child. The book shows diversity, love of animals and there are a lot of settings to add interest to a child's day. A good addition to a family library.

I Love Kisses was a cute story of all kinds of losses throughout a child's day. I love the fact that diversity was showcased throughout the book.
