PreS-Gr 1–This delightful touch-and-feel book is a hug-palooza, filled with equal parts softness and sweetness. Featuring a variety of animals, it beautifully describes how each one hugs. For instance, a spread with two giraffes and two mice hugging is paired with the text, “A looooong, loopy hug…or a teeny-tiny one?” Bold illustrations and simple palette make this book especially appealing to the youngest patrons.
VERDICT Despite some possible wear-and-tear issues, this title is sure to be popular on all board book shelves.
