About this deal

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. 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? 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. 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.

The Kiss That Missed by David Melling is great reading in

He dresses and acts differently, which makes children think about possible ways of expression and not the usual one. When the king hurriedly blows a goodnight kiss to the prince, and misses, panic ensues until a faithful knight brings the kiss home. It was too advanced for my baby at the time, but I actually really liked this story. Should read it again. Anyway a kiss goes missing and a knight goes out to find it, but it wreaks havoc on the fantasy landscape!Hmmm... looking at the last couple of paragraphs I may have become quite a harsh critic for kids books... 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.

A kiss so fugitive and elusive that it escapes but surprises all the inhabitants of the forest with its arrival. Very nice and very nice illustrations. Absolutely one of my favourite kids stories. Melling's illustrations are amazingly good, and this is a great story as well. It's great for typical boys (knight, dragon) and typical girls (princess, kiss). It has a great moral that isn't in-your-face (in fact, the kids probably don't overtly get it, which is fine, since it's aimed at the parents too).

The high standard of detail continues through the entire book and some illustrations have a comic book effect. Television - Benefits and Side Effects": a 90-minute-lesson with the focus on Reading + Writing skills for Intermediate Students If I stopped to review all of them, I wouldn't have time to read any other books. Or go to work. Or wash. So I tend to review just my favourites, or his. This is one of his favourites. I credit this book with introducing wolves to my son as an imaginary nemesis. More than once Fin has walked into a room and gone "Oh no, wolves with dribbly mouths!" and fled, giggling to hide under a table. Getting a little one to read a lot does great things for their vocabulary and imaginative play, but there are moments where he seems quite, quite mad... 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!

John Brolly, actor, storyteller and associate director at the open air theatre knows a good tale when he sees one, so The Kiss That Missed, was right up his spooky street.

Since this classic picturebook was published over 10 years ago, it has sold over 300,000 copies and become a favourite bedtime story for boys and girls everywhere. My son, Fin, gets two stories at nap time, and two more at bedtime, and frequently a few more scattered throughout the day. At last count he owned well over a hundred books of his own, plus an extra five from the library at any one time. He's 2 and 1/2 years old. This is how you raise a book addict. Shopping - Do you like it or hate it?" ( a 90-minute class) - Reading comprehension + writing for Intermediate or Upper elementary students The bed also yielded a sheeted ghost, a 'spectacled' brown bear with a sore head and a dribbly grey wolf, both wearing fine faux fur coats, quite apart from providing the Prince with a place to sleep in his royal stripey pyjamas. It was also a wizard choice for this time of the year, with an open invitation to the audience to wear Hallowe'en fancy dress for their trip to the theatre, with many children doing just that, enhancing this fun production.
