More HUGS!
We have explained why hugging is important, and shared a video of the author reading one of our favorite hug books, but you can never have too many hugs, so we want to share more!
One of our favorites is Hug by Jez Alborough, about Bobo, a monkey who needs a hug. With just one word, he makes his way through the animals of the jungle until he finds just who he is looking for: his mother. The large board book size is perfect for sharing at laptime.
In another book about hugs between mommies and their animal children, Mommy Hugs by Anne Gutman shows the different ways that animals snuggle with their mothers in simple words and illustrations.Amazon's review of A Book of Hugs by Dave Ross, says:
Can you imagine what it would be like to hug a bear? An octopus? And how does that differ from a brother hug? Or a Great-Aunt Mary hug? Dave Ross and illustrator Laura Rader's A Book of Hugs explores the full spectrum of hugs with bright, cartoonish illustrations and winsome one- or two-line descriptions. "Fish hugs are very cold and seldom returned," for instance. As for tree hugs, "Some trees are easier to hug than others. Note: If you hug a pine tree too long, you may get stuck on it." In the back you'll find "Facts and Hints About Hugging," including "Never hug tomorrow when you could hug today."
If you prefer human hugs, two books by Karen Katz may fit the bill: Daddy Hugs and Mommy Hugs. These books are great for toddlers, and count from 1 to 10 the different types of hugs that Daddies or Mommies give their babies and toddlers.Share
