Daniel Baxter.
What happens to kisses that miss their mark? Yolen offers her answer in bouncy (occasionally stumbling) rhymes: "...Catches Dog upon the nose, / ...and smacks Cat who climbs a tree, / Where the kiss bumps into Honey Bee." Baxter's illustrations follow Mama's winged kiss indoors, outdoors, and home again with lipstick-pink motion lines encouraging readers to track its path.
