You can’t go wrong with a Little Golden Book. This should be in some little child’s hand. Not on my shelf collecting dust. Passing it on. 🦛

This is another book that I cannot wait to read to my three year old! Growing up, I knew my mother loved my siblings and I, however, she was not a very affectionate person. We did not hug or kiss each other every day. And although I knew she loved me, I wanted that when I seen a more physically loving relationship between other mother and children. Before I even had a child, I knew that kissing and hugging and saying "I love you's" was something I would do every single day. I think a very great way to educate children, no matter how old, is by reading books to them. This book will help me express my love for my daughter. This story made me feel happy.

This thrift store find is another addition to my Little Golden Book collection. It is a sweet book that offers many explanations for the answer to the title question Where Do Kisses Come From? The illustrations show various animal families going through the day highlighting opportunities for kisses and different types of kisses. It is a good book to remind families of things they can enjoy together.

I thought that this book was really cute. It's simple and easy to understand and explains why parents kiss their children. I liked that it used different types of animals in the illustrations and that the illustrations added to the understanding of the story.

I am slowly building a bookcase that is full of the Little Golden Books for my baby boy. I can’t wait until it is full and the sunlight will reflect on all of the pretty golden spines!

This one was a fairly simple short story about where kisses come from. I got it for Valentine’s Day to read to my son next month. I can’t wait to finally hold him in my arms!

A perfect little Book for a toddler starting out , whether you’re reading it to them or they are learning to read… it has enough words without being too much. Overall a sweet, little read. The first book my toddler sat through while I read the whole thing. Plus, it’s a golden book! Can’t go wrong with a golden book.

Read to my granddaughter.

I read this book to my granddaughter because it was one of my son's favorites when he was little. Just a bit of nostalgia and sharing our family's love of reading with the next generation

I loved this book. It talks about kisses and ways to show love and affection. I think that is a good thing for kids to learn and understand.

This book is surprisingly good, and I would give it two and a half stars. The writing of Maria Fleming is sure and sweet, done with just the right touch of tenderness and a beautiful understanding of the pictures that words can paint. I really enjoyed reading this short book and letting the love in it wash over me. It is medicinal, and makes me happy. :-)
