If animals kissed like we kiss good night . . . what would they do? Giraffe and his calf would stretch their necks high, and kiss just beneath the top of the sky. Wolf and his pup would kiss and then HOWL. And Sloth and her baby move soooo slooowwwww . . . they're sure to be kissing until long after everyone is fast asleep!

With nearly two million copies sold in board book, this bedtime favorite is back in hardcover format, and sure to delight time and again.

Reviews for If Animals Kissed Good Night

""There are probably not enough synonyms for 'cute' to cover this survey of hypothetical smooches between animal parents and off-spring . . . The characters radiate unconditional love."" --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review ""The imaginative possibilities alone make this one stand out from the glut of sickly sweet bedtime books. Sure to send readers off to a gentle goodnight . . . after a kiss, of course."" --Kirkus Reviews ""Lively rhythm, effectice sound words, and an ecclectic collection of toddler-pleasing animals all combine to create a charming bedtime book."" --School Library Journal ""Using soft colors Walker renders the nighttime rituals inventively, across pages and around panels, making this gentle book a satisfying bedtime selection."" --Booklist ""A sweet bedtime story. This adorable children's book imagines how various animals would kiss each other goodnight."" --CBS News ""A springboard for fun interaction with your baby . . . It's a great one to cuddle up with and settle down before bed."" --Forbes ""It definitely promotes bonding when the reading is shared. The first time baby wraps their arms around you and kisses you for what seems like forever, you'll know they've learned something."" --The Bump ""An adorable story."" --Redbook ""Your heart might not be ready for this one! If Animals Kissed Good Night is one of the cutest books we've ever read."" --CafeMom ""The rhyming story sets the stage for some serious bonding time between parents/caregivers and their kiddos."" --BabyGaga
