Aunts Lulu, Lola, Lilly and Tallulah love Bernard to bits and cover him with all kinds of kisses – squeaky-sweet-hello kisses, lip-sticky-red-and-glow kisses, sneaky-on-the-nose kisses and smoochy-got-to-go-kisses, but it drives Bernard bonkers!
He creatively tries to avoid their affection by hiding his lips, but he finds it very hard dealing with his affectionate Aunts!
The aunts are sad because Bernard doesn’t want to accept their hugs and kisses anymore, until Aunt Tallulah comes up with an awesome, creative idea that communicates her love, and one that Bernard accepts, and she draws everyone into her brilliant idea!
But when everyone has gone home, and Bernard is alone with his Mom and Dad at bedtime, he still shows his love for them!
It is a very comical representation of growing kids, especially boys, who get to a stage of not wanting all those kisses anymore!
The pictures beautifully illustrate the story, and makes it a wonderful picture book to read together with little ones!
