"Daddy Hugs" is one of the only baby-toddler books I've seen out there about Dads that doesn't focus on the stereotypical "macho-man" Daddy roles (like building a tree house or going camping/fishing). This is a great book for Daddies to read to their little ones that reinforces a more modern, nurturing Daddy. In the book, Karen Katz counts 10 different ways Dads can give their babies hugs (i.e.: kissing boo-boos, burping, getting ready for bed, first steps, playing hide-and-seek, dancing on Daddy's feet, etc.) The board book format makes this a great gift to give to new Dads, to incourage the ritual of reading to baby. Great way for new Dads who may even be a bit nervous about their new role to bond with their babies and see just how special that relationship can be.

My husband and I both love reading this sweet book to our 6-month-old son. It shows different ways a dad shows his love for a baby of indeterminate gender ("finger hugs," "make it better" hugs, etc.)

As with all Karen Katz's books, the illustrations are darling. (The baby and the kitty are especially cute!) It's also very colorful and seems to really hold our son's attention.

I got this as a present to my husband from our daughter for Christmas. It was his favorite present by far. There aren't a whole lot of "Daddy" books out there so I was happy to find one. The pictures are eye catching, the storyline simple, and the board book pages are perfect since my toddler loves to rip paper like it is going out of style! Get this book for your daddies to read to your babies. They will love!

I purchased this book for my granddaughter. Her mom is a teacher who gave me a thumbs up for picking an outstanding book. Mother approved and by a teacher no less. I doubt you can get a better recommendation.

This book is not a family favorite, but is a nice book. The text is very short on all pages. Additionally, there are 4 blank pages, the fist two and last two have only a graphic pattern. This does not even count the publisher information page so its ends up being almost as many pages with words/pictures as filler pagers. It is very, very similar to "Mommy Hugs" so would not recommend buying both. Not a bad book, but not much that stands out when there are so many outstanding board books to choose from.

I bought this for my son when he had his son. It is a great "daddy" book.

Daddy Hugs (Classic Board Book)
Some of the best books for dads and children are the ones that encourage affectionate play between them. This can make reading before bedtime a fun time, which is good for both dads and kids after a long day. It can also help forge emotional connections between them on a daily basis, which can sometimes be a challenging task for fathers. Daddy Hugs is a great book for this purpose, and one which is appropriate for infants as well as young children.

The book begins with the arrival of Daddy in his baby's room, and he proceeds to hug his baby with all kinds of hugs numbered from one to ten ("eight dancing on daddy's feet cha-cha hugs") as they get ready for bed. The large, colorful illustrations will be engaging for both infants and young children, and the text encourages closeness between fathers and kids while also teaching basic counting skills.

I purchased this book for my one year old niece. The colors thoughout the book keeps her attention and interested. It's been a month and she will go and get the books for someone to read them to her.

I purchased this book for my husband for Father's Day. It is super cute and sweet. We can imitate all of the 10 hugs that are shown in this book!

My daughter (16 mos) loves this book and when her daddy reads it to her he gets all choked up. It is the sweetest thing. Each page has a different type of hug by a Daddy...tiny finger hugs, don't be afraid of the dark hugs, so precious
