Kiss! Kiss! Yuck! Yuck! by Kyle Mewburn

I think the story Kiss! Kiss! Yuck! Yuck! was a wonderful because on the first page Auntie Elsie was saying some weird things like "Hi-De-Hi Andie apple pie". The illustrations are also great because they are real backgrounds with cartoon type characters in front. The whole story was really awesome. I liked the part when Andy went and hugged his Auntie - cute! I want to say to Kyle Mewburn that you write "Awesome Books". It was cool he got the idea from his mum's sloppy red kisses!
