Editorial Reviews

Praise for HUG YOU, KISS YOU, LOVE YOU"The book maintains the chunky digital graphics of Wan's previous titles, and clever visual details are everywhere, from thematically patterned backgrounds of bones, waves, and leaves to the recurring heart elements incorporated into the animals." —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"Simple, boldly outlined art, rests atop bright, patterned backgrounds, and the type is large and playful. An affectionate little book for preschoolers—with glitter on the cover!" —BOOKLIST Praise for WE BELONG TOGETHER"Manga-like characterizations and a chunky, hip design deliver the cuddly sentiment with panache." —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

From the Publisher

A small bunny searches for its mother and learns all about barnyard animals along the way. A cute little bunny approaches several bigger animals, asking each one, "Are you my mommy?" At the turn of each page, the larger animals reveal their own young, allowing little ones to learn what baby chickens, horses and pigs are called. Shaped die cuts in the pages add both visual and tactile interest, as when the pages are turned, they create the outline of the baby animal set against the mother's coloration on the previous page. Of course the tiny traveler discovers its mother by book's end. The book radiates warmth with soft curved lines used to form the characters and scenery. Distinct visual patterns add an extra dimension to each page. Each segment of the bunny's journey employs different color patterns that entice even the youngest of readers. A sweet and satisfying quest. (Board book. 6 mos.-2)
