Grumbly little Baby Bear does not want to give his parents a kiss before taking a bath before bed.  Daddy gets inventive and asks if Baby Bear would like to give a giraffe kiss as he holds Baby Bear up high.  Baby refuses.  As he carries Baby Bear upstairs, Daddy asks if he would like to give a cuddly koala kiss.  Baby refuses.  In the bath, Daddy asks for a crocodile kiss.  As Baby giggles and resists giving Daddy all kinds of kisses, Daddy steadily gets him ready for bed.  Yet in the end, Baby does have one surprise left for Dad.  The warm and tender illustrations are a wonderful mix with this affectionate story of a bedtime routine.
