reviews

"A beautifully written children's books with vivid, bright, colorful illustrations. I would recommend Kangaroo Kisses to any parent who enjoys reading to their kids at night and who has a bedtime routine that they like to instill with their children."

Curling Up with a Good Book

"This colourful beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of an imaginative little girl who is ‘Not yet!’ ready for bed! The story has a good pace as the little girl has a series of adventures. Rhyming couplets give this narrative a sparkly quality with interesting words such as ‘snuggle’, ‘nuzzle’, ‘squeeze’ and ‘tickle’ all standing out in a larger, bold font. This book has many talking points."

IBBY Link

"An adorable new picture book written by Nandana Dev Sen and illustrated by Pippa Curnick. Told in a familiar whimsical, rhyming style, Kangaroo Kisses is a short and fun tale perfect for bedtime. Curnick brings colorful and friendly animals to life on the page, and the illustrations are beautiful. I highly recommend this one! Super cute, and definitely and author/illustrator duo to watch."
