No More Kisses For Bernard

by Niki Daly (Author)

 

Bernard has four aunts. Lula, Lola, Lilly and Talulah and they love Bernard. They and they love to show it… covering him from top to toe with kisses. They give him squeaky sweet hello kisses, sneaky on the nose kisses, lip sticky red and glow kisses and smoochy got to go kisses. The only problem is, Bernard really doesn’t like kisses.

When Bernard declares there are to be "No more kisses!" his aunts need to find another way to show their love for their favourite nephew.  The aunts come up with methods using felt-tip pens, glitter and paper hearts, but what happens when Mammy and Daddy want a kiss a bedtime?

This is the funny and beautifully illustrated story of a boy who just wants to be left alone. Niki Daly creates a charming and humorous world which many readers will relate to.
