No More Kissing

I love these books and so does my 5 year old daughter. They are great stories.

Momo is a cute little monkey who lives in a Babar-like jungle created by Emma Chichester Clark, the author/illustrator of the Blue Kangaroo books. In general he is a very happy little monkey ,,,, until the kissing starts! Kissing everywhere, all the time, for this and that, hello and goodbye, morning and night. Momo tells everyone he knows, "No more kissing!" But it doesn't do any good. He cannot understand why everybody likes it so much .... until his little brother smiles at him.This is a sweet book for little ones who don't like kissing, or new big brothers and sisters, or even babysitters.

I remember hearing these stories as a child and loving them, now my son is loving them too. I would recommend these to kids ready to listen to simple chapter books. The stories are cleverly written so adults can enjoy the reading too. We like to read this series aloud to the kids, and if you read one they will want you to read all of them! Some nice illustrations accompany the stories.

Momo is a little monkey who is disgusted by all the kissing he sees around him, from relatives, parents and children, even strangers. They kiss for every reason, and for no reason at all, and finally he orders everyone in his household to stop: "No more Kissing!" It makes no difference at all, so he takes comfort in the fact that at least he is not a baby, because babies get the most kisses of all. Then one day he tries to comfort his new baby brother, and a very amazing thing happens! This colorful jungle tale is funny and silly, with just the right amount of tender sweetness. The illustrations are watercolored, and the lettering is hand done, but very clear. The monkeys look a little like Curious George, but have much more expression. Whether you like or hate kissing, this book is a winner.

This book is a cute little story about a little monkey who does not like to receive kisses. He thinks that all adults give kisses to little people all the time and he does not like them or see the need for them.....until he becomes a big brother. Read on to see his experience with his baby brother and find out of he still dislikes kisses and thinks you should not give them.
