Daddy Hug

Slimy, scruffy, long and fluffy. Feel safe and snug with Daddy Hug! A beautiful picture book for parents and children to share all about the love between a father and his child. From spiky hedgehogs and slimy snakes to bouncy sheep and buzzing bees...everbody loves their Daddy Hug! Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1--In a jolly, rhyming text, this book describes various animal fathers, from a ponderous walrus ("Daddy/GIANT/Daddy/jiggle") to a soft-fleeced ram ("Bouncy/Daddy/happy/giggle"). Other critters include hummingbirds ("Daddy/busy"), gorillas ("Daddy/strong"), snails ("Daddy/slimy"), and snakes ("Daddy/long"). The vibrant, painterly illustrations, featuring fathers interacting with their offspring, are filled with action and color. Two spreads must be turned vertically for viewing, adding interest to the layout. The use of white backgrounds keeps the images large and clear. The simple text and warm-hued artwork create a feeling of security that will appeal to children.--Anne Parker, formerly at Milton Public Library, MA Copyright å¨ Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
