Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-01 00:00:00 Andrew Dietenberger Won't you be my hugaroo? I've lots of hugs to share with you. Okay, first things first. This is a BABY book. For babies. No kid over the age of 4 is going to like it. 4 might even be pushing it. This is the kind of book your five-or-six-year old picks up for her 2-year-old brother because she loves him and wants to read to him. So, to reiterate, it's FOR BABIES. It's all about hugging. All different kinds of hugging. A catch-you hug is full of play, although it takes your breath away. A twirly hug will make you spin and lift you up until you grin. A friendly hug is nice and plain. It's good to be with you again. Each couplet is on a separate page with a picture of our hero - a zebra colt wearing clothes - enacting each hug with friends and/or family. For instance, the "twirly hug" takes place on a teacup fairgrounds ride. The book is sweet. A cheer-up hug can save the day when everything is not okay. Baby rabbit let go of his balloon and it is flying away, and he gets a hug from his parent to make it better. A calming hug will see you through when something scary frightens you. Zebra colt helps baby bunny climb the tall ladder to the slide. All the animals are wearing clothes. I find this very improbable. Also, some choose to wear shirts and some choose to wear pants. It's strange. They walk on their hind legs like humans. They wear backpacks and drink sodas and push strollers. Most of the animals are herbivores, but we do see an occasional bear in the background. Tl;dr - So, just remember this is for very young children. Older children (above age 4) are going to sneer at it as a baby book. Still unclear what a 'hugaroo' is. P.S. AND I don't like the illustrations.
