BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Artie loves to give hugs and she is really good at it. She would like to send one to her Grandmother who lives far away. Talking on the phone or via the computer is not the same, so Artie describes how to send a hug in a letter. Hugs are delivered many different ways, via boat, plane, donkey and truck depending on where the hug/letter is to go. The recipients are a multicultural and multigenerational group of people, all over the world.
Rocco’s illustrations are colorful, realistic and pleasing. The illustrations compliment the text well. Rocco’s drawings display the emotions that result from the delivered “hugs”, the reader can feel those emotions from the looks on the characters faces. Learning how to write a letter is a valuable skill and the anticipation in waiting for a reply is something children should experience. How to Send a Hug is a great addition to any elementary school library, perfect for K-3.
