This book is a good example of fantasy because the author and illustrator choose to use animals to be in scenes that animals do not do, such as Hippos rollerskating. The artwork in this book says that it was done in pencil by Janice Kinnealy then colored in by DRi Artworks (which I assume means

that the illustrator drew the drawing in pencil and then they colored them in digitally). The point of view in this book is done in third person, a limited third person. Show Less

This is a sweet family story. It is great for reading anytime. It can be used in family lessons for small children.

Summary:
This book shows how many different reasons you can give kisses. Kisses can come from your smile. You could have I miss you kisses or you can have just because kisses. But in the end all kisses come from love.
Personal reaction:
I personally love this book because I am a very affectionate
Classroom extension:
I think one way I would have a classroom extension on this book is to make a card to the children's loved one and let them tell the person they are going to give the card to why they love them. Then I would let everyone (yes even the boys) put on lip stick and kiss the front of the card.
Another extension would be to read this book around Valentines Day and let the children cut out lip shapes out of paper and tell their loved ones just how much they love them on the lip shaped paper.

parent and love to kiss on my babies but at this same time I do kiss their boo boos, I kiss them when they leave or when they come home, I kiss them when I tuck them into bed at night and all of these kisses come from love. Classroom extension:

Where Do Kisses Come From?
I liked “Where Do Kisses Come From?” by Little Golden Books. The book incorporates several different zoo animals to tell the story. For example, there are monkeys, zebras and elephants all used in the illustrations. The illustrations are cartoon like and fill the pages

with bright colors and the text is generally only one sentence per page. The page with the monkeys has only one sentence at the bottom that says, “They come from tummy tickles and other silly giggly games”. Another reason I like this book is its use of alliteration. “Tummy tickles”, and “silly songs” are two examples of this use. Overall this is a good book for young readers, but I’m not sure how it could be incorporated into the classroom. The big idea is kisses come from love. Show Less
