Very cute, interactive bedtime story
This is an adorable book about a little boy that won't settle into bed (has lots of excuses) and the tactics his exasperated but loving mother uses to coax him to stay in bed and go to sleep. Each page will have you and your child doing gorilla hugs,fish kisses, ect. along with the characters of the story. The illistrations are great and my 3 year old thinks it's hilarious. It's a fun way to end the day. Highly recommend.

A cheerful picturebook
Fish Kisses and Gorilla Hugs is a cheerful picturebook about a six-year-old boy who imagines every excuse he can to delay his bedtime. His mom knows he's stalling; she takes the opportunity to play a silly, friendly game of kisses, hugs, pinches, and pokes, all inspired by their favorite animals. Broad, colorful, yet simply themed artwork practically leaps off the page in this charming read-aloud storybook ideal for just before bedtime.

fish kisses and gorilla hugs
i returned this book before reading it to my son. the book teaches whinning to get more attention. i was looking for a book that was playful and helped me show my love for my 4 year old. this book may have helped with that, but the underling "whinning to get what i want" theme was too strong. i would not buy this book.
i would strongly suggest the book "i love you so" by the same author.
