About this deal

Hmmm... looking at the last couple of paragraphs I may have become quite a harsh critic for kids books... David Melling’s delightful series of Knightly Tales is brought to life with all the charm and humour of the original stories, plus some new songs and, of course, plenty of kisses bouncing around.

A blundering knight sets out into the wild wood to retrieve the kiss and return it to it's rightful owner. "Wild creatures with wild eyes, too much hair, and very bad manners lived there." Will the knight return with the kiss or will he be eaten by the dangerous creatures of the wild wood night?

Some of the word choices are great - alliterative and/or onomatopoeic - words the really want to be read aloud - but again, there are a few places where opportunities are missed and I find myself ad-libbing more apt phrases. urn:lcp:kissthatmissed0000mell:epub:e188ac29-d9be-427a-abf1-afd8135fdad0 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier kissthatmissed0000mell Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t7bs6qg6w Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780764136245 My son, Fin, gets two stories at nap time, and two more at bedtime, and frequently a few more scattered throughout the day. At last count he owned well over a hundred books of his own, plus an extra five from the library at any one time. He's 2 and 1/2 years old. This is how you raise a book addict. It was too advanced for my baby at the time, but I actually really liked this story. Should read it again. Anyway a kiss goes missing and a knight goes out to find it, but it wreaks havoc on the fantasy landscape! Hain iheskorra eta harrapatzeko zaila den muxu batek ihes egiten duela baina bere etorrerarekin basoko biztanle guztiak harritzen ditu. Oso ilustrazio politak eta oso politak.It's great for typical boys (knight, dragon) and typical girls (princess, kiss). It has a great moral that isn't in-your-face (in fact, the kids probably don't overtly get it, which is fine, since it's aimed at the parents too). Absolutely one of my favourite kids stories. Melling's illustrations are amazingly good, and this is a great story as well.

This cover of this book leads the reader to believe there might be a fair maiden who is delivering the kiss... Once the story begins we learn that the wayward kiss is delivered by the busy king who is not attentive to his son and misses his son's cheek.. Thereby bouncing around the room and out the window... Thus creating a chase scene by a faithful royal knight. The misadventures of the knight are comical and the illustrations delightful.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2019-09-19 12:57:53 Boxid IA1664902 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier
