The art is probably the best bit - the framing on the imagery is perfectly done, and the text is embedded into the imagery (which I always approve of). That night the prince was happy, the Queen was happy, and the King promised to stop always being in a hurry. Once the story begins we learn that the wayward kiss is delivered by the busy king who is not attentive to his son and misses his son's cheek. The kiss proceeds to save him from the wild animals by floating by and saying goodnight to each of them. Anyway a kiss goes missing and a knight goes out to find it, but it wreaks havoc on the fantasy landscape!

There were bears with long claws and growly roars, swooping owls of all shapes and sizes, and a pack of hungry wolves with dribbly mouths. It is a narrative of a very busy king who blows a kiss at this son, but it misses and flys out the bedroom window. From that day on the King promises to be in less of a hurry and reads them all, from the little prince to the giant dragon a bedtime story every night.

I first chose to read this story to a classroom of students around valentine's day when most stories are predictably mushy between the opposite sex. The information on this site is aimed primarily at parents, educators, reviewers and retailers and you must be over the age of 13 to subscribe to our newsletter.This story is about a king who is rushing and blows the prince a goodnight kiss that misses and ends up in the forest. Feminism: Seriously falls down here :( All the main characters are male, and the queen has no name and only domestic duties.

This story surprised my students and they were all delighted and often giggled uncontrollably throughout the remainder of the story. It even goes on to save them from a dragon who kisses the knight and his horse goodnight and sends them back home with the captured kiss.I very much enjoy this book for its entertainment value and its potential to inspire imagination in young children. Just as the kiss in the title misses it's mark (a young prince on his way to dream land), this picture book also misses it's mark in never living up to it's potential. The king sent a knight to the dark forest to find the kiss, but the task proved to be easier said than done. a>
