If there's one thing Piper Paw hates, it's being kissed by his doting mother, Mrs. Velvet Paw. And one day she does the unforgivable: she kisses Piper in front of his friends! »Kisses, kisses all the time,« howls Piper. »I don't like it. I don't want it. Good-morning kisses, licky kisses, soggy kisses!« What can Mrs. Paw do? She answers her son with a surprise of her own – and it's not a kiss. Piper Paw's rambunctious story is sure to fascinate ist readers – kissers and non-kissers alike. No kiss for mother? All right! But a big one for Tomi Ungerer.
