Hug

Alborough, J. (2000). Hug. Cambridge, MA: Candlewick Press.
Recommended Age:0+
Format: Board Book


This book only has 3 different words in the entire thing. The story is told with the illustrations. A little chimpanzee is in the jungle, and says Hug looking for a hug. But every time he says hug to an animal he sees them hugging their own little ones. He says hug to an elephant, snake, giraffe and more. The little chimpanzee grows sadder and sadder. Suddenly his mom appears with a big hug for him. At the end, everyone hugs their own little ones, and then they all hug each other. Since this book is told mostly with images it is perfect for infants and toddlers. They will enjoy looking at the colorful images of all the different animals and the board book format makes the book easy to use by tiny fingers. This would be a good book for infant and toddler story times as they will be able to anticipate the word that the little chimpanzee says.
