5.0 out of 5 stars Great message!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016
Verified Purchase
We absolutely love this book. While simple in its wording, the message is impactful. The book teaches children to spread their joy, to not be selfish with what makes them special, and that by sharing the joy in their own life with others, they will experience even more happiness. This message is essential for our kids in an ever growing world of entitlement and negativity. Stay positive. Help others. Share.

In addition to the great message, we also love the illustrations and texture in the book. Peter Reynolds is one of our favorites, and he definitely does not disappoint in "Plant A Kiss". Much like the wording, the illustrations are simple yet impactful. There is also glitter added to the "joy" on each page, which grows in size as the story grows. The glitter really adds eye appeal and sensory appeal with its texture.

This is an A+ picture book. You won't be disappointed!

Really such a cute book. A lovely lesson though a bit abstract for the small ones. It's fun and the pictures are fun so it is read a bit in our house. If you are worried that one might be a bit young to get it you may be right though they may enjoy it anyway and then get it later on. There is value in reading it either way.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Own Little Miss & I Love This Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2012
Verified Purchase
Amy Krouse Rosenthal's spare, thoughtful prose paired with Peter H. Reynolds' always stunning watercolors makes for a wonderful book. In simple rhyme it tells the story of Little Miss who plants a kiss on the ground and tends it very carefully. It blossoms beautifully and she, in spite of warnings, shares it and shares it and shares it.

I call my four-year-old daughter Little Miss and she is highly affectionate. This book seemed made for her and I knew she would adore it. The fact that the pages are not overwhelmed with text makes every word count and allows a serious focus on the illustrations. Before long my Little Miss will be reading this one on her own again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book that looks at kisses in a unique way ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016

Valentine’s Day brings kisses to mind. A wonderful book that looks at kisses in a unique way is Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s gem, Plant A Kiss. Illustrated brilliantly by Peter H. Reynolds, the very spare text literally sparkles and matches the mood of the story perfectly. Have you ever wondered what might happen if you planted a kiss? No? Well, you are in for a delight when you share this book with your special child. Before you begin, ask your little one to predict what might happen if he or she planted a kiss. The question is sure to fire up their imaginations. It will also open a window into the way they think and feel which helps parents know and understand their children better.

Adoptive families can connect this book to adoption.: This story line can serve as a wonderful conversation starter. Ask kids what else they might “plant.” Then, have them predict what might happen. Compare the “harvest” of each emotion. Conversations like these can be a wonderful gateway to important conversations about deeply held adoption-related thoughts and feelings. You might be surprised by what your child reveals. This creates a great chance to validate their feelings, clarify confusion and address their worries and concerns. --Gayle H. Swift, "ABC, Adoption & Me: A Multicultural Picture Book"

Very simple story, but so cute and so much fun to read. The illustrations are adorable too. This is one of those books where my kids can point out different things or add their own ideas without me getting frustrated because I'm trying to read the words. I rotate books on our mantle for the changing holidays and seasons, and this was perfect for our Valentine's display. We read it throughout the year, though, because it's so much fun.
