Customer Reviews

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.

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.

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!"

A "Must -Have for Every New Parent"

We purchased this book for our oldest daughter, now 17 and it remains a favourite of all three children. The famous "sandwich hug" is something we encorporated into our family traditions, along with "snuggle" (a longish hug), and "mummy" hugs (you can never have too many)...."A Book of Hugs" has shaped my parenting and our parent/child relationship in very positive ways. The humour of many of these unique hugs will not be lost on any parent!
