This very girly tale about a “Little Miss” who plants a kiss pairs the best-selling author Rosenthal (“Little Pea,” “Duck! Rabbit!”) and the award-winning illustrator Reynolds (“Ish,” the Judy Moody series) for the first time, with great success. Splashes of sparkle adorn the pages as the seedling kiss causes “doubt” and a “pout” before it sprouts and spreads in a cheery wash of yellow and pink. Rosenthal’s and Reynolds’s straightforward and gently humorous sensibilities are well matched in this story about love beyond the boundaries of parent and child.
And what child doesn’t like a page sprinkled in glitter?
