This 16-page board book is FULL OF FUN. A kiss. A quack. A tickle. Mary Murphy's bold black on white and white on black pictures are eye catching: A fish, two birds, a squirrel, a frog, an ant, a mayfly (A mayfly?), a mouse, a mama duck, and a yellow duckling. An exuberant text introduces first words--nouns, verbs and adjectives--for learning. A bird exclaims to a squirrel, "I fed the baby! Did you feed the baby?" Yes! I fed the baby. What a hungry little one!" The mayfly, to a frog, "I sang to the baby! Did you sing to the baby?" "Yes! I sang to the baby, and the baby sang to me." Infants can tune into I Kissed the Baby 's animated conversational rhythms. Almost-ones might quack with a little coaching. Two-year olds can label pictures and join in on book talk. Babies of all ages get kissed! Ppfffwah!
