Smooches squared!
THREE PROS
*Selena Mandine's images are a visual feast
*You never really think about how various family members offer different pros and cons to a child who has to kiss them
*The gator in his room might have the longest snout I have ever seen and I really like it

THREE CONS
*The personalization page should really be located on the inside front cover and not at the end of the book
*Christopher's chocolate kisses remind me more of Pigpen (of Peanuts fame) than anything you would find in Hershey, PA

*Grandpa is a little too Santa-like for my taste
ONE DAD'S OPINION
From an illustrative standpoint, Kiss Kiss is a no brainer. You will never tire of the pictures inside. The story itself is also pretty good, so I can see how many people would argue that this is worth purchasing. But, for me, it feels like more of a Borrow because the last few pages of text drag down what is otherwise a great effort.
Buy / BORROW / Donate / Destroy
