All Kinds of Kisses

(4) PS Illustrated by Steven Henry. "Humpback whales have gigantic mouths to gobble up great gulps of shrimp. / And through all the bubbles, mamas give cuddles and big, wet canoodles to calves." Twelve poetic descriptions, illustrated with tender but sturdy pencil and digitally painted art, each conclude with a question: how would the profiled animal kiss? Both rhyme scheme and rhythm are erratic, marring the elucidating text. Animal facts appended.
