Mama’s Kiss

Mama’s Kiss by Jane Yolen
Ages 3-6
I thought this was a really sweet book. I really enjoyed this book, but probably wouldn’t read it in front of my classroom just because it may be kind of more geared towards girls. Either sex could read and enjoy it but I think it has more appeal for girls. It’s about a mom who blows her daughter a kiss and it misses her but catches her brother and then bounces around to different things and places. Near the end of the book the kiss hits a runner who then comes home and kisses his wife which is the mom from the beginning of the story, who then kisses her daughter, so it finally makes it back to who it was intended for. It’s kind of like passing love around and if you share it with someone else they will share it with someone and eventually it will make it back to you again.
The pictures are spaced around each page so they all look a little different. All of the characters look very happy, they have huge smiles on their faces which I liked. There’s only one sentence on each page, so it is a pretty basic read.
