Guess How Much I Love You에서 아기 토끼와 아빠 토끼의 사랑을 따뜻한 그림으로 표현했던 Anita Jeram의 그림동화책입니다.

밖은 어둡고 태풍이 몰아치는 밤입니다. 아담한 하얀 집에서 비어(Bear) 부인은 아들 샘을 침대에 눕혔어요. "잘 준비는 됐니"라고 엄마가 묻자 샘은 "아뇨, 기다려요"라고 대답합니다. 비어 부인은 샘과 함께 침대에 앉아 책을 읽어줬어요. 그리고는 빨간색 담요를 덮어줬어요. 엄마가 이제 됐냐고 묻지만 샘은 아직인가봐요. 엄마는 샘 옆에 인형 친구들을 놓아주지만.. 이번엔 따뜻한 우유를 갖고 와서 둘이 함께 마십니다. 샘은 엄마에게 무엇을 잊었는지 생각해보라고 합니다. 책, 담요, 친구, 우유....책, 담요, 친구, 우유.... 샘은 기다리고 또 기다립니다. 아! 엄마는 드디어 생각이 났어요. 바로 굿나잇 키스에요. 엄마는 계속해서 샘에게 키스해줍니다. 샘은 더 해달라고 하네요. 엄마는 샘에게 계속 키스해요. 밖은 바람이 불고 비가 내립니다. 엄마는 전등을 들고 속삭입니다. " 잘 자거라, 샘" ....... 샘은 잠이 들어버렸어요.

태풍이 몰아치는 바깥과 대조적으로 엄마의 사랑이 넘치는 포근한 집이 더욱 따뜻한 마음을 느끼게 해줍니다. 잠자기전 엄마에게 어리광을 부리는 아기 곰을 보고 있으면 저절로 웃음이 납니다.

Book Description
Outside, the wind blows and the rain comes down. Inside, it is Sam's bedtime. Mrs. Bear reads him a story, tucks him in, and brings him warm milk. "Are you ready now, Sam?" she asks. "I'm waiting," he says. What else does Sam need before going to sleep? Could Mrs. Bear have forgotten a kiss? Kiss Good Night is a delightful picture book from the award-winning author of the Baby Duck books and the illustrator of Guess How Much I Love You.


Publishers Weekly
Hest (When Jessie Came Across the Sea) pays tribute to reassuring bedtime rituals that assuage a toddler's fears even on a "dark and stormy night." Sam the bear cub will not go to sleep. "I'm waiting," he keeps telling Mrs. Bear, even though she's checked off everything on the bedtime list: book, blanket, friends (his stuffed toys) and milk. Then it dawns on Sam's mom that she's forgotten the kiss good night. Sam manages to coax a total of 10 goodnight kisses from Mom. With understated repetition and lyricism, Hest establishes the coziness of the nighttime interplay as well as the menacing sounds of the storm from inside Sam's bedroom: "Splat! on the roof. Splat! Splat! on the windows. The wind blew. Whoo, whoooo." Jeram moves from the light palette and breezy artwork in Guess How Much I Love You to thickly applied acrylic paintings. Her radiantly rendered ochre and rust shades translate easily from the autumn storm outside to the sturdy furniture and heavy wool blankets inside. While her characters' expressions seldom change, she uses their contrasting physical presence to great effect. The hulking Mrs. Bear is a literal bulwark of maternal devotion, while Sam's roly-poly poses comically communicate his coy devotion.


Children's Literature
It is a dark and stormy night and Little Bear is having trouble going to sleep. His mother reads his favorite book, tucks him into bed with his red blanket and his stuffed animal friends, and drinks warm milk with him. Little Bear responds to each of these activities with, "I'm waiting." Finally, Mrs. Bear gives him good night kisses and he falls asleep. Jeram's large colorful pictures contribute to the coziness of this book. Perfect for bedtime.


School Library Journal
Hest begins this sweet bedtime tale with, "It was a dark and stormy night on Plum Street" and Jeram's luminous folk paintings show a small, worried bear peering out the window at the wind-hurled leaves. The scene switches to inside his bedroom, golden in the lamplight, where Mrs. Bear is trying to put her son to sleep. The repetitive phrasing in each sequence, bound to delight young ones, is: "`Ready now, Sam?' `Oh, no,' said Sam. `I'm waiting.'" Mrs. Bear wracks her brain for every detail of their bedtime routine. They read their favorite book. They arrange the youngster's stuffed animals and drink some warm milk, while the wind blows, "Whoo, whoooo." Finally Mrs. Bear thinks to ask, "what did I forget?" "You know," says Sam. And, after a moment's thought, she does-as will every child who has absorbed the title of the book. This is an enchanting little story, with homey illustrations that add to its appeal. It will be particularly reassuring to read aloud on those dark and stormy nights.


Child Magazine
"Book, blanket, friends, milk" -- what's missing from the Bear family's tuck-in ritual? Sam waits patiently until finally Mrs. Bear says, "Oh, I know! Kiss good night, Sam!" The finale is so satisfying that it calls for an encore. "Again!" Sam says, as will readers of this cozy story.
