A Kiss for Little Bear

By Else Holmelund Minarik · Illustrated by Maurice Sendak About

Little Bear is so pleased with the picture he has drawn that he asks Hen to take it to his grandmother. Grandmother is so happy with it that she sends him back a thank-you kiss.

How the kiss is passed from Grandmother, to Hen, to Cat, to Little Skunk, to a pretty girl skunk, and back to Little Skunk, and how eventually it comes again to Hen and finally to Little Bear will delight children just learning to read.

Else Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak, the creators of the first Little Bear book for beginning readers, once again blend their extraordinary talents in a tender story filled with warmth and laughter.

This beloved classic is an ALA Notable Children’s Book and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book.

Maurice Sendak

Maurice Sendak was born in Brooklyn, New York. He began by illustrating other authors’ books for children, but the first book that he both wrote and illustrated was Kenny’s Window, published in 1956. Since then he has illustrated over 80 books, and has won many awards, including the 1964 Caldecott Medal for WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. In 1970 he was the first American to win the Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator’s Medal. In 1978 the University of Boston made him Doctor of Humane Letters and in 1983 he won the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for a ‘substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children over a period of years’.
