Bibliographic Citation: Murphy, Mary. I Kissed The Baby. Candlewick Press, 2004. 24 pages. ISBN: 978-0763624439

Reflection: I Kissed the Baby! is a wonderful adaptation of a picture book made into a board book format. Young children love the book's high contrast black and white pictures and text. The book utilizes negative space and positive space. For example, on the first page, the animals and text are white and the background is black, then on the following pages it switches with the animals and text in black and the background in white. This high contrast is extremely attractive to very young children and babies and is the reason it's one of the most popular board books on the market for this age group.
