5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Book of my 3 yr old January 28, 2012

By JY

Format:Hardcover

My 3 year-old absolutely LOVES this book. It's the book we read together every night before bed (along with "All The World"). We actually got them both out of the Cheerios box from a neighbor and they are both wonderful. This one is too cute and the illustrations are great. Kids just love books that rhyme and tell a cute story. Now, I usually read the first couple of words of each page and he likes to finish it himself (bc he has it memorized!). GREAT book and I plan on buying it in hardback to keep forever (:

3.0 out of 5 stars How do you hug a skunk? February 2, 2012

By J. Grambo

Format:Hardcover

Dogs and cats, bunnies and chicks, and even elephants and giraffes have a place where you can hug them. But how do you hug a porcupine? This was a cute book, but it bothered me that she didn't figure out how to hug the yak or the skunk. If the premise of the book is that everyone is huggable, what happened to the two that were passed by? Perhaps the kids won't even notice. Nice for preschoolers.
