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. We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute, we promise it will be put to good use. Anyway, the son of a Loyal Royal Knight is drafted-in to become the royal babysitter, and retrieve the kiss, but proves to be a bit flakey in the 'fearless' department, and their adventures begin, accompanied by jaunty music and songs by composer Ben Sutcliffe, with costumes crowned by Yasmin Baird. It’s escaped into the forest where it has no business to be, so the brave and fearless knight is sent on a mission to bring it back… But is he brave and fearless enough?His work includes the Hugless Douglas series and The Kiss That Missed, which was short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal. From that day on the King promises to be in less of a hurry and reads them all, from the little prince to the giant dragon a bedtime story every night. 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 Kiss That Missed by David Melling is great reading in EYFS or KS1 especially as part of a topic on knights, dragons and castles. They look somewhat like an old fairy tale that would involve royalty, and some of the words are like that, too.

Melling's fanciful tale of a father's goodnight kiss that missed it's mark is reeling with sly humour and enough suspense to keep carers and youngsters scrambling to turn the page.Hain iheskorra eta harrapatzeko zaila den muxu batek ihes egiten duela baina bere etorrerarekin basoko biztanle guztiak harritzen ditu. That night the prince was happy, the Queen was happy, and the King promised to stop always being in a hurry. My son, Fin, gets two stories at nap time, and two more at bedtime, and frequently a few more scattered throughout the day. The art is probably the best bit - the framing on the imagery is perfectly done, and the text is embedded into the imagery (which I always approve of).
