Product details
Web ID: 16397801Great bedtime story!
Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs is a delightful children’s book written by Lisa Tawn Bergren and illustrated by Aleksander Zolotic. The book begins in a cute manner, with a little boy telling his mother that he is too old for kisses. His mother then tells him about how different animals – such as sloths, lions and tigers, polar bears, and horses – kiss their children. The writing is strong, and I like the illustrations, with their vibrant purple tones and cool blue colors. The pictures of different animals are fun and exciting for children to look at. I love how the book shows us how God loves us, giving us his kisses from Heaven. With its theme of bedtime kisses and hugs, Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs makes a great bedtime story. I received this book for review.

Adorable book for young children
Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs is an adorable children's story written by Lisa Tawn Bergren and illustrated by Aleksandar Zolotic. This story is written for 3 to 8 year olds. In this story a young boy feels he is too old for kisses from his mother and hugs from his father. His parents tell him how animals give their little ones kisses and hugs. His parents explain that God gives us kisses and hugs often through the day, if we don't pay attention we might miss them. God gives kisses by shooting starts, gentle breezes and sunlight. God gives hugs when we sing with others, help others, when it snows and even with hot chocolate. Later the young boy realizes how good it feels to be loved so much. This is an adorable book, perfect for the young child growing up and trying to be independent. The story is so cute, using animals such as elephants, polar bears, turtles, pigs, lions, sloth and horses. The pictures are so clear and colorful. The pictures contain many object to help teach the little children. I received a copy of this book from the Waterbrook Multnomah launch term. This is my honest review.

A Sweet Bedtime Story
Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs is a sweet story that is perfect for bedtime! It demonstrates how important affection is in families, and how God uses that affection to show His love for us. The picture book uses animal families as fun examples. I especially appreciated the close relationship between parents and child that was exhibited throughout the story. The illustrations were just right: somewhat cartoon-y, yet realistic enough, especially with the animal families. And while the illustrations were colorful, they were not too bright, which helped promote the bedtime theme. This is a beautiful picture book that I recommend to young families. It is one to add to your family library, because children will want to hear this story and lose themselves in the pictures over and over again. I received an ARC excerpt of this book from the publisher, Waterbrook, for review purposes. The thoughts expressed here are my own.
