Cute

"“Huh machine” is repeated a lot, it’s cute but not sure if every parent would like it for their child"

— Marija (3/5)

Big Hugs all Around!

"My students loved the theme of this book, hugs! It is such a creative story and it expands on what children naturally do with the character hugging ice cream trucks, trees, mailboxes, and virtually everyone and everything. It ends on such a positive note with the main character finally hugging his mom. I like the way it began with the boy hugging his family members, as all children do, and then building on that with the boy making everyone’s day with all of his hugs. The children picked this book for me to read to them over many others."

— Pastel W. (5/5)

Sweet and Quirky

"Sweet and quirky story and it's now in a board book!"

— Millie (5/5)
