BR 2-15: A Kiss For Little Bear (Else Holmelund Minarik, 1968)



"Too much kissing?"

Little bear sends grandmother a picture, and she likes it so much she asks Hen to take him a thank-you kiss. But Hen passes the kiss to Frog, who passes it to Cat, and on and on-will little bear ever get his kiss?

This story was very unique because team is kiss! This book is for children, but it's story is a little adult. For children, kiss is unusual doing. For other country's children, when they do greeting, they kiss for other person. However, In Japanese children, kiss is love thing. When I met kiss scene at the movie in my child, I was really shameful. I felt embarrassed then. 

Kiss is the expression of love. Greeting kiss has deep affection, lover's kiss has romantic feeling. Kiss is important for people.
