Reactions/Observations:
"Hugs can be tricky!" How to Hug offers advice about how to navigate those tricky hugs. The advice includes the whens, whos, how to hug, and what to do when you're given one. Each child in the book tries to hug an animal. The dialogue is warm, friendly, and sincere. The silly illustrations are bright and colorful. They add humor to the existing dialogue. Toddlers may have trouble understanding all the vocabulary, but will understand what a hug means. Preschoolers, kindergarteners, and first graders will be charmed by the advice and hopefully pass it on to a loved one.
I've read this in different story times. It went over best in 5 and under and preschool storytime. The children giggled as kids hugged moose, hippos, and zebras. They enjoyed identifying each of the animals too. The parents enjoyed it best in toddler storytime. It allowed them multiple opportunities to hug their little one as part of the story interaction.
