Counting: Ten Little Kisses by Taylor Garland

No, nobody has to kiss a pig (except this lovable pink-nosed porker,) but it's always fun to see baby critters play in the sun and curl up for a cozy bedtime kiss.

Three cozy lions frolic freely around their sleepy family. Four fluffy kitties take turns grooming each other, while five piglets get bliss just from an oink and a kiss.

Six little chimps love to be silly, while seven gentle elephants tie their trunks into a love knot to show they love each other a lot.

Eight graceful giraffes can kiss at great height. But nine bunnies kiss in their burrows at night.

Ten penguins prefer hugs at the zoo.

No matter how many cute critters you can see, there are always hugs--for you, baby, from me!

Taylor Garland counts the ways to say I Love You in 10 Little Kisses (Little, Brown and Company, 2018), an appealing board book for preschoolers which teaches animal names along with counting skills, illustrated by affectionate animal photos.
