Kiss Good Night

Kiss Good Night
By: Amy Hest
Illustrated by Anita Jeram

Although I have only recently started reading picture books, I believe this is one of the best I have stumbled upon illustration wise. The illustrations truly bring this story to life. Each and every picture goes with the words on the page. The pictures definitely stand out more than the text. This allows for imagination to run wild with children.

The book tells of a little bear named Sam who just wants a kiss goodnight so that he may finally go to bed. While it takes a while for Mrs. Bear to figure out what is missing from the bedtime routine, it is very adorable when she finally does. Kindergarten would especially enjoy this book.
