I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug
As a mom, there is nothing sweeter than snuggling up with my little ones and reading. Mine love it when we make the different voices of the characters. It just makes my heart smile to hear them giggle. In the latest book by Caroine B. Cooney, hugs and cuddles are shared by various animals.
I’m going to give you a bear hug.
A show you how much I care hug.
A good night
Sleep Tight
Way beyond compare hug.
Hugs are shared by the dog, cat, horse, duck, pig, fish, whale, bug, and sheep! These are all special night time hugs to make a little one feel loved and cared for by their favorite things.
The graphics are super cute. My little ones laugh and giggle so hard while reading this book. We have read it over and over to the point that he has almost memorized the book. This book will be on our top shelf for reading for a long time. I overheard the 4 year old reading it to his sister (1 year old). I wish I could have gotten to my camera fast enough to have recorded it. Hopefully I will be able to catch them again and share it here on the blog.
This is a hard cover book with a dust jacket that measures approximately 11 x 9 inches. It is also available in a board book or kindle version.
Whether it’s a big bear, gasp for air, knock over a chair hug or a wet and drippy, slimy, slippy fish hug, children will giggle their way through all the imaginative examples. Cooney’s sweet, whimsical rhymes encourage playful interaction between parent and child and ultimately help them wind down before they snuggle into bed and drift off to sleep.
