This a picture book for infants about kissing. With the short word “Smooch!” alone, it expresses babies’ desire to love and to be loved. By showing the main character kiss familiar objects in the house, this volume naturally prompts infants to turn their attention to and to feel attachment to the objects around them. The last scene, where the protagonist awakens from a dream and receives kisses from Mom, will present parents and children reading the book together with a sense of satisfaction and connection. Masterful is the author-illustrator’s skill in weaving a rich story from simple text and plain drawings
