A Kiss for Lily

Lily the Giraffe is soooooo tall, soooooo tall, so very-very-very tall that when she asks a dog and then a cat if they will kiss her the way she saw Michael's father kiss him ? warm and sweet on the cheek ? neither can reach her. But Michael wants to try and determinedly sets out to climb up high enough. Finally he succeeds, and Lily is delighted. Repeated phrases that children are certain to chant along with and a tale that is both satisfying and reassuring guarantee that this gentle love story will be a favorite for many family read-alouds.
