This book was a favorite of my own children and now has a place of favor in my granddaughter's heart. It's one of her "goodnight" books when she comes to Grandma's for a sleepover.

A Kiss for Little Bear is a charming story about a young bear who draws a picture for is grandmother. Not surprisingly at all, this picture looks like one of the monsters from "Were the Wild Things Are." Little Bear has his friend Hen deliver the picture to Grandmother Bear. She is so delighted with the drawing that she sends Hen back to Little Bear with a kiss for him. The simple kiss gets passed on, friend to friend ("telephone style") until it finally gets to Little Bear. Little Bear ask Hen to take a kiss back to Grandmother Bear. But Hen refuses because "kisses get all mixed up." In the end, the girl and boy skunk get married, because they enjoyed the kissing. It is all very sweet and innocent.
My copy is 40 years old. I remember my mother reading this to me. It was then passed to my aunt to read to her children. When I was pregnant, my aunt gave it back to me. I love reading this enchanting story to my daughter. We giggle and trade kisses and have a great snuggle right before bed. This is another memory filled classic that I am truly thrilled to be able to pass on. Highly recommended.

We come from a Christian home and I would agree that this story also left me with an uneasy feeling. I could see a secular view saying no big deal but there was an undertone in this book that I didn't like. It is apart of my very first graders reading curriculum and I am going to ask it be removed.
1st little bears favorite picture that he drew and gave his grandma is likened to that of a little devil and second the animals are passing kisses on to one another. And especially the skunks kissing again and again and again. This is supposed to be a children's book. I don't understand what is going through the mind of an author.
I recommend you stay away from this book.

My kids and I love the little bear stories. I had "Little Bear" as a child myself. I just recently learned about this book. We just love it. It is shorter then the others and the art is just a bit different, but still as charming as always.
In the story little bear draws a picture and has hen take it to grandmother bear, who send hen with a kiss for little bear. The kiss get passed along from friend to friend until hen gets it again and gives it to little bear. Very sweet.

I felt the art work in this one was probably some of the best in the series and I did love the story. The story is simple, Little Bear sends a picture to his grandmother and it is taken to her by Hen. Grandmother, upon reciept of the picture wants to pass along a kiss to Little Bear. The kiss is passed from animal to animal until Little Bear receives his gandmothers kiss via the Hen. The story is cute, the illustrations are great and the kids love it. What more could you want. JUST A NOTE: I almost never refer to the review by another reviewer. In this case I will make an exception. There are Kisses and there are Kisses. I kiss my grandchildern all the time. I kiss cats and dogs and have even kissed a frog in my time. I can assure you there is nothing inappropriate in these kisses. It is an action as old as the human race. As to the skunks kissing, just what is so bad about that. You have a girl skunk that kisses a boy skunk, they enjoy it, they enjoy each other and then they get married. And this is bad? I can remember years ago very first kissing my wife. We were all of fifteen years old at the time. We kissed for several more years, got married, had wonderful children and now have wonderful grandchildren and hope soon to have wonderful
great-grandchildren. This is bad? I frankly thought this was a good, healthy thing to add to this story and am glad the author did. Even at the age the book is targeted for, the wee ones should know about kisses. Recommend this one highly.
