New Picture Book Encourages Slumber-y Send-offs With Silly Kisses
12:38 PM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Accepting a book for review is always a risk. What if the writing is cringe-worthy? What if you detest the book from start to finish? What if you hate to post a "bad" review, but can't in good conscience give it a positive one? What if the author responds to your forthright evaluation by sending you a furious email insulting your intelligence, your writing ability, and your very existence on Earth just because you said her newest book wasn't her best (not that this has EVER happened to me—hee hee)?
You know what poses an even bigger risk? Accepting a book for review that is written by not just someone you know, but also someone you like and respect. I have (no joke) lost friends/blog followers because of something I've written about their precious books 😒, even after they assured me they wanted my honest, unbiased opinion! It's a relief, then, when I get the privilege of posting a favorable review of a book penned by a friend of mine.

Based on the author's bedtime ritual with his four children, this fun, interactive read-aloud is sure to become a family favorite. Its warm, playful tone sets just the right mood for bedtime. Prepare yourself for smiles and giggles (some of which will be your own) as well as sweet hugs and silly kisses, all of which will help your little one drift off to sleep feeling secure and loved. Of Walrus Kisses Are Scratchy, my 9-year-old daughter said, "I liked it 100%!" You can't get a better review than that!
