BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Different animals are capable of giving different numbers of hugs based on how many “arms” they have. This book moves through a host of animals and how many hugs they can give.

The language in this book is a bit clunky and the text too long, but the rhyme is mostly enjoyable and the content interesting. Sliping animal facts into a book about hugs is a cute idea.
