Won't You Be My Kissaroo?

(4) PS Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. As a young lamb goes about his day, he witnesses various anthropomorphized animal pairs exchanging different sorts of kisses until he finds himself on the receiving end: "A gotcha kiss surprises you / with tickles and some giggles, too." Sweet's sure hand and eye for detail (check out the animals' duds) go a long way toward moderating the book's syrup factor.
