Undoubtably the cutest book, I've read to my grandchildren. I can't believe that anyone found it offensive. It's not for school aged kids but little kids that will love the bright pics and rhyming sing songy story. I doubt the 1 year olds that are being read to are going to remember this and just pop up and kiss a stranger or think that everyone should smile and never have a down day. Get a grip people and give your little kids a chance to laugh when you go "blub, blub, blup " and give a more age appropriate book to your kids that might be inclined to kiss a stranger! Geeze!
Love this book! It's got a great message about getting out of the grumpies with the help of a friend, and the repetitive parts of the text help kids chime in when being read to. Adorable illustrations, too!
