Trewin, T. I Lost My Kisses. Orchard Books: 2008. ISBN: 9780545055574.
In I Lost My Kisses Matilda Rose, a cow that loves to give and receive kisses, feels that she has lost her kisses. Matilda Rose is terribly, horribly sad, and begins her adventure of the search for the lost kisses. Matilda Rose looks for her kisses inside her home, outside her home, at a store, in the air, in a mailbox, and in a well. During her adventure of the quest she meets with several other animals on her journey. She meets a dog, baby chick, and a baby lamb. Matilda Rose feels that she needs to find her kisses before her dad arrives home, because her dad gives her the biggest “smoocheroo’s”. When Matilda is waiting for the arrival of her dad at the airport, she hears her name being called and her heart fills with a stretching bursting loving feeling and she discovers her kisses while she gives her dad the biggest “smoocheroo” ever. The predicable simple action-oriented text is imaginative and showcases the progression of Matilda Rose on her adventure to locate her missing kisses. The pages are mostly black and white pencil pictures with a hint of watercolor. The book uses a empathetic and intriguing way to bring the reader into the feelings of Matilda Rose. It used the repetitive wording of “I lost my kisses”.
