*Disclosure of material connection- I received a copy of the book in exchange for my honest thoughts. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions stated are 100% my own. About the book-
I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug!, written by bestselling author Caroline B. Cooney, 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 and simple rhymes encourage playful interaction between parent and child and ultimately help them wind down before they snuggle into bed and drift off to sleep.
My thoughts-
I'm Going to Give you a Bear Hug is a cute picture book perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. The concept of the book is different types of animal hugs you could give. I love the cute sing-song rhyming and flow of the book and the illustrations are darling. This is a great book for emerging readers to practice their reading and the perfect book to read to your little ones each night at bed time.
