From the Publisher

I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug!, written by bestselling author Caroline B. Cooney and illustrated by Tim Warnes, is a playful and comforting bedtime book that imagines all the wonderful ways a child might give and receive a hug.

Whether it’s a big bear, gasp for air, knock over a chair hug or a wet and drippy, slimy, slippy fish hug, children will giggle their way through all the imaginative examples. Cooney’s sweet, whimsical rhymes encourage playful interaction between parent and child and ultimately help them wind down before they snuggle into bed and drift off to sleep.

Our Thoughts

I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug is a colorful and fun story. It’s the perfect book for bedtime, unless one of your kiddos gets the giggles about one of different types of animal hugs detailed within. Kids that are unable to read will ask for this one again and again. Kids that are able to read will add it back into their stack. My kids are thoroughly entertained by it, although it isn’t limited to a bedtime story.

It’s a great book to gift, as well.
