Our Weekly Favorite:

Title: How Many Kisses Do You Want Tonight?
Author: Varsha Bajaj
Illustrator: Ivan Bates

Summary:

"How many kisses do you want tonight? the animals ask, snuggling critters tight. This adorable counting bedtime book celebrates the special ritual of goodnight kisses. Cozy up with you little one for a goodnight kiss- or tow, or three. . . "

Why We Loved It:

• We do most of our story reading right before bed, so bedtime stories really resonate with me. This one was very well written. 
• Who doesn't love a little learning in a bedtime story? I love that this book includes counting. 
• I love that this book switches back and forth between talking about Mommies and Daddies giving bedtime kisses. . . instead of just being about one. My husband and I like to read Emma her bedtime story together when we can, and so this book is perfect for us.
