Jack just HATES being kissed by his large family of aunts, uncles and cousins. 'Kisses were yukky, kisses were sucky, kisses were very very unlucky.' Deciding to be macho, he starts a  No Kissing campaign, but he has a secret, not revealed till the last page.

Erica-Jane Waters's pictures capture the fun but also, on the very last page, the tenderness.

"With hilarious pictures closely following the rhyming text, this is a book with much to giggle over, as Jack struggles with his abundantly affectionate family." BOOKS FOR KEEPS
