Good read to reinforce social emotional skills in young children. This book is colorful straight to the point and descriptive on how animal hug. The rhyming words, sounds, and phrases are enjoyable to share with young children and could spark conversations.

It's a great book for little ones and their caregivers.

Similar to "Crunch Munch," but this book tells kids about different (potential) ways that animals hug.

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would be a wonderful book to read with a child under the age of 5, especially when talking about sharing affection. Every animal in the book has a different way of hugging, and a different word that is used to describe it. At the end of the story, the reader is asked how he/she hugs. How do you hug? Great to read with your own child or a child with whom you are close.

I'm a mom of 4 and this is one of my favorite bedtime stories to read to my kids! It has a fun rhythm and lots of quotable phrases!

love it! funny sounds for mom to say. was a little sad they gave up on the funny sounds by the time they got to panda and just wrote "squeeze squeeze squeeze". why not squeezy deazy or something?

Cute illustrations of animals hugging. Not much to engage in a class discussion with but cute for independent reading or a parent and child.
