Mommy Hugs Book

I'll start out by saying that Mommy Hugs, published in 2001 after being written by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben is an amazing book. My mom owns and runs her own Childcare Center which makes an amazing place to read children's books to kids and have an amazing supply of books to choose from to read. I can say with confidence that Mommy Hugs appeals to all children and warms every one of their little hearts. After reading this book to all 13 children today I decided it was a good book to do a review on. Mommy Hugs, even in its simplest form says so much. It simply represents an array of children/and animals sharing affection to their mom in their own special way. An example would be the mommy parrot hugging her chick with a nibble. Another would be a mommy polar bear hugging her cub with a tickle. This book is so easy to understand for children of all ages, even just based on pictures. Each and every picture says 1000 words when you look at it. It shows children new ways to show love to their mother and vice versa This book simply bleeds love between mothers and their young ones. There is no negativity whatsoever in this book seeing as it strictly shows the affection shared between mother and child. The style of this children's picture book does not disappoint. It has an array of bold colors catching every eye that sways in its direction. It really helps children who cannot read stay connected with the book. I have no doubt that anyone who reads this book no matter what age will enjoy it but there is a grey area. I would suggest anywhere from baby to about 10/11 to be the most interested age group. Following that, the book probably won't be as cute to readers unless they are older and mature enough to enjoy it with a child. During these tough times with COVID-19 impeding our quality of life, I of course suggest that this book not be read in a setting where children and the reader do not see each other and interact on a daily basis. It heavily suggests hugging and showing affection to one another and unless it is between a child and their mother then it should probably be avoided. Overall, this book is written very simply, yet speaks a million words. When we are in the clear it is a book I cannot wait to show to dozens of children!
