Toddlers love to give hugs and this book will encourage all kinds of hugging. When the animals hug, they make a sound which allows your child to learn the various animal sounds. You can make all kinds of various animal hug combinations that might be unusual like an owl and a mouse or a frog and a donkey.
As they hug, they make a sound that combines them like an Oink-Oink Squeak-Squeak hug. With eleven animals, there are all kinds of fun combination hugs to make. The last page offers one last hug just for you.
The illustrations are really adorable and the small size with minimal words makes this a book your toddler will easily be able to read alone very quickly.
