Kisses for daddy
给爸爸的吻

世界上还有比《给爸爸的吻》更温暖、更智慧的亲子故事吗？它的温暖和智慧之源，来自小熊的爸爸那柔和、细致和耐心的舔犊之爱。
故事里的小熊的爸爸，他对自己孩子的心理、个性和倾向了如指掌，因而能因势利导、循循善诱，在看似游戏和玩闹中，完成了对孩子的照料、鼓励与引导。贯穿着整个故事的，是那暖暖的、怡怡的亲子之爱。这种爱从小熊爸爸的心灵里、目光里、谈话里，还有那机智的行动举止中，轻轻地、缓缓地流露出来，如涓涓清泉，滋润着小熊幼小的生命和单纯的心灵。而小熊献给爸爸的那个甜甜的吻，还有那个大大的拥抱，就是对这温暖的、无私的舔犊之爱的最好的回报。
这个故事还将告诉所有已为人父、将为人父者：我们应当怎样去做一个好父亲。
