By Delphine Chedru
Thames & Hudson, 2018. Picture Book.
Young readers count and blow air kisses to their friends, pets, grandparents, and more with this delightfully interactive book. Following a classic counting technique until readers reach the number ten, the book then takes wild jumps up to 17, 64, 823, and finally āmillions,ā prompting a riotous explosion of kisses from the reader. By encouraging the child to physically interact with the book, reading becomes a game that celebrates all the things a child loves in life. Illustrated in color throughout. --Publisher
