Cassie and the Kiss Soldier by Marion Rose

It was a nice idea, the kiss soldier. The little girl didn't want to go to sleep by herself because she was afraid, so her grandfather put a kiss on her bedpost, which turned into a little soldier that would protect her while she was sleeping. The idea was better than the final execution on the whole though. The author attempted to have the girl go on a little adventure that seemed kind of forced, maybe it was too short or... well something was missing and I didn't really feel that part, but the idea was nice.
