Customer Reviews

We love The Bear Hug!

What a sweet book. Our daughters particularly love reading about Cubby and Grandpa's fun at the swimming hole and the doughnut store. They somehow claim that Grandpa's "winter hibernation" on the couch reminds them of someone they know. And they love the illustrations -- not just cuddly Cubby but also the kittens, flowers, frogs, and butterflies. Bravo!

Warm and Humorous

I loved this warm and charming book! The kids will have a ball acting it out and the parents will enjoy reading it aloud. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Abigail Hart

Perhaps the greatest childrens book in the history of the world!!!!!

If you have a child or a grandchild you simply must get this book. Warm, loving and intensely re-readable. A very nice gift. Small children love it.

Grandpas gather 'round

I adore this book, from the charming story line to the rich illustrations. My kids are drawn particularly to the interactive component of the story: they act out the parts, from the growling to the snoozing to...the bear hug. A perfect gift for grandparents and kids alike!
