After that, I had to translate this book for class and I surely enjoyed it. I think it's a sweet story with an unexpected ending, since a kid would never think about it. If I had children on my own, I would defintely read this book before they went to bed. This cover of this book leads the reader to believe there might be a fair maiden who is delivering the kiss... Once the story begins we learn that the wayward kiss is delivered by the busy king who is not attentive to his son and misses his son's cheek.. Thereby bouncing around the room and out the window... Thus creating a chase scene by a faithful royal knight. The misadventures of the knight are comical and the illustrations delightful.Some of the word choices are great - alliterative and/or onomatopoeic - words the really want to be read aloud - but again, there are a few places where opportunities are missed and I find myself ad-libbing more apt phrases. He adapted and directed this story that was originally written and illustrated by David Mellings nearly 20 years ago, and which led to the Knightly Tales series, now read and enjoyed by thousands of youngsters.

Hmmm... looking at the last couple of paragraphs I may have become quite a harsh critic for kids books... The Kiss that Missed" by David Melling is a great entertaining read! In it, the king of the land is always in a hurry and when he blows a goodnight kiss to his son, the kiss misses! The prince can't go to bed without his goodnight kiss, so the King sends out his trusted and bumbling knight to retrieve the wayward kiss. On his journey, the knight encounters wolves, owls, and a dragon! The characters of this story are fairly one-dimensional, but the story itself is what carries all the laughs and adventure that make it so entertaining. The illustrations are essential to the comedy and bring the story to life with vivid depictions of the characters' antics.A harried king blows his son a Royal Kiss, but in the king's haste, the kiss misses the prince, rattles around the room, and flies out the window into the night. A blundering knight sets out into the wild wood to retrieve the kiss and return it to it's rightful owner. "Wild creatures with wild eyes, too much hair, and very bad manners lived there." Will the knight return with the kiss or will he be eaten by the dangerous creatures of the wild wood night?
