[.ca] K Is for Kissing a Cool Kangaroo (ISBN 1841212628)

Koala kisses cool Kangaroo:
and big busy bumble bee below blossoming branch barely buzzes by beaver's blue balloon. OK, OK. I am exaggerating. The balloon is red, not blue. This book is another winning co-production by the gifted writer/illustrator team of "Giraffes Can't Dance." Cheerful, amusing, entertaining and educational in an unobtrusive way, it is a genuine pleasure for kids and parents. Learning the letters of the alphabet has rarely been so much fun. Max's favorite is the letter "B" because he likes his dad to enact the slightly absurd drama of a bull in a boat who is rowing frantically to escape a grinning bumble bee about to pierce the balloon of a beaver who sits next to the bull. Add to that the third passenger in the boat, a phlegmatic bear munching on a banana, and you have the right stuff for a great bed-time story. Trust me. Rivaling "B" in popularity is the letter "R" featuring a rabbit in a carrot-shaped racing machine, a raccoon riding a rocket-propelled scooter (any boy's dream!), a rolling robot, a running rhino and last not least a rat holding a rose. The rose is red. Just for the record. For obvious reasons my favorite letters are K and L: "K is for kissing a cool kangaroo - L is for loving, like Daddy loves you."
