Summary

The next time Auntie Elsie came to visit, Andy hid under the bed. 'Where's my Andy Apple Jelly?' cried Aunt Elsie. Every time Auntie Elsie comes to visit she gives Andy two big sloppy kisses. Kiss! Kiss! on the left cheek. Kiss! Kiss! on the right cheek. Yuck! Yuck! Andy says to himself. Andy is a fast runner. But not fast enough to outrun Auntie Elsie. Andy is good at hiding. But Auntie Elsie always finds him. When he ducks down in a pig pen, she climbs right over the fence. When he climbs a tree, she follows right after him. But then Auntie Elsie breaks her leg and stops coming to visit. Andy realizes he misses Aunt Elsie and her sloppy kisses. One day, a taxi pulls by the gate and out come two crutches. Now it's Andy's turn to get Aunt Elsie. Kiss! Kiss! Hug! Hug! Kyle Mewburn's funny story of an overly affectionate aunt and her long-suffering nephew will resonate with readers, who will instantly recognize the bond of love that unites the two characters. Ali Teo and John O'Reilly's colorful and quirky multimedia illustrations, which combine freehand drawing and photographic collage, exaggerate the humor of the story.
