All Kinds of Kisses by Nancy Tafuri

There are all kinds of kisses.
Cheep kisses... moo kisses... baa kisses... coo kisses...
But the best kiss of all is Mommy's kiss goodnight.

Big Hugs, Little Hugs by Felicia Bond

Big or small,
Furry or not,
Here or there,
Inside or out,
Everyone hugs all over the world.

Amiably illustrated in a bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli’s spirited board book, YUMMY YUCKY stars an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect.
