Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Joella Peterson
A young zebra and friends learn about the different ways to hug while going to and from an amusement park—thus becoming a "hugaroo." The rhyming text and simple language makes this story perfect for lap time or bedtime readings. For example, "A cozy hug when tales are read is nice to share upon a bed." The watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations show a plethora of animals giving and receiving various hugs. The rounded shapes not only soften the images of each animal but they also give a cozy, secure feeling to the book. Young readers will also relate to the characters. For example, "when something scary frightens you," shows an illustration of a young bunny climbing to the top of a slide. When the "roller-coaster-riding hug...keep[s] you safe and very snug," the young bunny is standing off to the side next to a sign that says "you must be this tall to ride." This is a perfect board book to share with youngsters who love to be "hugaroos." It is now available in a large format size as well as the smaller board book format. Reviewer: Joella Peterson
