Panda Kisses by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and Kay Widdowson - ADVISABLE

Capucilli, Alyssa Satin Panda Kisses by Alyssa Capucilli, illustrated by Kay Widdowson. Step into Reading - Random House, 2008. EARLY READER

EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

This Step 1 title features a rhyming text with a bouncy rhythm and illustrations that are almost too cute. When a young panda asks each of his parents for a kiss, they give him choices: "A soft kiss? / A sweet kiss? / A sticky bamboo treat kiss?" In the end the young panda determines that "There are many kisses that will do! / But the best kiss is-from both of you!"

A large font, rhythm and rhyme, picture clues and a a low word count per page will help emergent readers succeed.
