Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Review
"Campbell’s simply outlined watercolors exude warmth, emotion, and sly humor, from the deadpan expressions of several surprised recipients of the Hug Machine’s hugs to his own serenely closed eyes during each hug, which make it clear that he’s giving each hug his utmost." ― Publishers Weekly
"The noodle-armed little boy who loves hugs is irrepressibly charming....delightfully rendered, and the hug machine’s enthusiasm for friendliness is hard not to love." ― Booklist
"Absolutely irresistable." ― School Library Journal
*"Whether for bedtime or storytime, affectionate kids and adults will thoroughly embrace (ahem) this fuzzy and goofy paean to cuddling." ― The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, STARRED REVIEW
"a non-sappy, warm-hearted ending to a book that feels just like a big ol’ hug" -- The Horn Book Magazine ― November/December 2014

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
To be honest I was a little hesitant when this was first recommended to me, but within the first few pages you see how it sticks with little guys and there's a heartwarming surprise towards the end that will definitely hook in parents. And the little hero is just too stinking cute.
Count me in !
‘ Don’t Hug Doug”. Well done Mr. Campbell , this is a fine book.
