Kiss Good Night by Amy Hest illustrated by Anita Jeram

A sweet, sweet story!  As Mrs. Bear goes through their bed time routine, she repeatedly asks him, "Ready now, Sam?"  To which Sam replies, "Oh, no!  I'm waiting."  Mrs. Bear pretends to not know what he means which is fun for a toddler/preschooler listener.  Finally, Mrs. Bear gives Sam a kiss-many kisses.  Of course, Sam cries, "Again!"   It is fun while reading to your loved one, to plant some smackers on his/her cheek like Mrs. Bear!
The illustrations fill the page and match the mood of a dark and stormy night.  Very cozy.  A fox chasing a leaf in the wind and a bird flying to find a safe nesting spot are added details to observe and discuss.
