No More Kisses for Bernard!

Author: Niki Daly

Aunts Lula, Lola, Lilly and Tallulah all want to express their great love for Bernard by covering him from head to toe with kisses! This drives Bernard BONKERS, those sneaky-on-the-nose and smoochy-got-to-go kisses. He proclaims loudly, NO MORE KISSES! Reluctantly, the aunts agree. But on his birthday, Aunt Tallulah defies the ban and sticks a fat, smudgy kiss right on his nose. Meantime, we see Bernard’s dachshund fiercely defending him, the noise must have been horrific!! Drawn in Daly’s inimitable style and told with great humour throughout, his latest book is packed with hilarious verbal and illustrative jokes, the solution to the kissing problem being solved through paper kisses. Thankfully, Bernard does agree to a bedtime nice-and-simple peck-on-the-dimple goodnight-sleep-tight kiss for his parents!
