My 17 month old boy absolutely loves this book. I usually have to read it to him two or three times in a row or he will get upset. It has been on heavy rotation at our house much longer than the average new book we get for him. Michael Rex is one of the best kids book illustrators out there as far as I'm concerned. If you like this do a search on his name. All of his books are awesome--especially the Painting Gorilla.

This is always the first book my two-year-old grabs before bedtime. He'll now sit and "read" it to himself. This book includes a great collection of animals (bunnies, dogs, otters, tigers, kangaroos, bats, and my son's favorite. . . the panda)! I highly recomend this one. It not only includes the animals but also includes lots of HUGS. ENJOY!

My toddler loves this book and others in the series. She asks for it over and over -- we have read it dozens of times. She really remembers and mentions the animals from the book even when she sees the same animal in a different book or context.

"Snuggle Wuggle" was part of our "Read aloud" program for little kids in Denver public schools. I read it to a classroom of bright 4 & 5 year olds.
The illustrations are very nice, but the rhymes are like baby-talk.

"How does a bear hug? Snuggle-wuggle. Snuggle-wuggle."

"How does a deer hug? Fluffy duffy. Fluffy duffy."

This just didn't work for kids old enough to describe their halloween costumes to you. What's "wuggle"? -Is "fluffy duffy?" the sound of a hug? Seems it should be an adverb, but...

I think most kids over four are delighted by Dr. Seuss' rhyming nonsense words and they get it when a "vorpal blade" goes "snicker snack", but the rhymes in this book seem geared for toddlers of pre-speech age.

For kids over the age of two, don't bother with this one.

This gentle book begins, "You hug your mama, and your mama hugs you." From there, the text asks how each of several animals hugs - from a bunny to a gorilla and even a bat. The question is answered for a different animal on each double-page spread using words and pictures. Both the text and the illustrations evoke a variety of senses and encourage the parent and child to hug along. A cozy book to share with a child.

Snuggle Wuggle changed my life. I am so full of joy and happiness and my soul is in full harmony and contentment. I even showed it to my cat. She flopped down on it... THAT MEANS SHE LIKES IT!!!!!!
