From acclaimed author Ziggy Hanaor (Alte Zachen, Alex and Alex and The Pocket Chaotic) comes this heartwarming story about the power of affection to lighten up even the darkest of days.

Gory Rory Fangface is having a terrible day and everything is going wrong. First, he ran out of cereal and then his favourite jumper was in the wash and then it rained on the way to school. Does Gory Rory need a kiss? No, he most certainly DOESN’T.

The day gets progressively worse; he’s forgotten his homework, it’s egg salad for lunch, and then mum is late for pick-up. A kiss perhaps? NO WAY.

On the way home it rains again, there’s homework to finish and the internet is down. Gory Rory has reached the end of his tether – it really has been the WORST DAY EVER. But sometimes… just sometimes… when you really really need them… kisses can make it all better.

All of us have been there when everything that could go wrong does. Gorry Rory Fangface is having one of those days. The day started with Gory Rory Fangface not getting a good night's sleep, and then things got worse as he didn't have cereal for breakfast, and it rained on the way to school. Things began to snowball until Gory Rory Fangface declared it the worst day ever! Despite all the tantrums and anger, Gory Rory's mama patiently asks if he needs a kiss. Eventually, Gory Rory Fangface discovers that sometimes you just need a kiss to make your day better.

What I Liked: Author Ziggy Hanaor does a fantastic job of encapsulating what a terrible day would be for a young child as well as showing that a little bit of love can make a big difference. The illustrations also do a wonderful job of capturing the emotions of the story.

Gory Rory Fangface Needs a Kiss is a heartwarming story with a message to remind young readers that love can make your bad days a little better.
