From Amazon.com: Can you imagine what it would be like to hug a bear? An octopus? And how does that differ from a brother hug? Or a Great-Aunt Mary hug? Dave Ross and illustrator Laura Rader's A Book of Hugs explores the full spectrum of hugs with bright, cartoonish illustrations and winsome one- or two-line descriptions. "Fish hugs are very cold and seldom returned," for instance. As for tree hugs, "Some trees are easier to hug than others. Note: If you hug a pine tree too long, you may get stuck on it." In the back you'll find "Facts and Hints About Hugging," including "Never hug tomorrow when you could hug today." This is perhaps the quintessential touchy-feely book, but it is awfully cute... and it makes a sweet valentine for kids of all ages.
Warm, loveable, brings nice cozy images to mind: This wonderful book is full of neat ways to share a hug. Kids will enjoy the illustrations and the humor -- penguins with "ice cube hugs" and even "report card hugs!"
Great Children's books.: I thought this was one of the best children's books I had seen in a long time. It emphasized the value of the family. That is am important quality in today's lifestyle. I loved the art work also.
Great Book: I seldom give 5 stars but this book is worth every star. It's one of those Mommy feel good books like "Guess How Much I Love You". It's not hopelessly sappy either. It will make you smile, laugh and want to hug anyone is nearby.
A Healthy Family Book: This book is an excellent book for teaching young children about hugging. It talks about a variety of people you might wish to hug. It gives a cute description about the hug. I think parents will find this book "a must have" particularly with young children.
