Goodreads description--Noodles the puppy faces a new kind of problem. Auntie Judy has arrived for a visit, and he is determined to avoid getting a kiss! When his attempt to hide in the garden fails, Noodles comes up with a hilarious and messy plan. This funny Level 1 story is perfect for beginning readers.

In No Kisses, Please! we follow a dog whose aunt is coming to visit. The aunt always gives him kisses which he doesn't like. He tries hiding, but that doesn't work. Eventually, he finds something that works. In the end, he gets something better than kisses.

This story appealed to my 6-year-old son because he isn't always a fan of kisses either. He can understand wanting to get away and hide from people who want to smother you with kisses. Even though this wasn't laugh-out-loud funny, it was funny enough for him to appreciate the story and relate.

No Kisses, Please! gets 4 Stars. I have no complaints with it, but I'm a firm believer of not giving everything 5 Stars because then you have nothing to rate the exceptional. Have you or your child read No Kisses, Please!? What did you think? Let me know!
