Overview

Who doesn't need a hug? Well, every animal in this forest steps forward to request one when an invitation is offered. It's a kind koala who agrees to give a hug to any animal who needs one - not just a hug, but a hug the receiver will never forget. He aims to please and puts his whole heart into this task. The results are worth his efforts, as a hippo, giraffe, brown bear, snake, badger, porcupine, and tiger agree. There is still another who could use a hug. Who could that be? (Warm-Hearted Bedtime Story/Picture Book, About Loving Oneself and Others, with over 40 Delightful Illustrations, for Beginner Readers, Ages 2-7)

This is a wonderful reminder of the most precious gift we can give another. Unconditional loving through hugs from a generous, grateful, loving heart. And the beautiful gift is that we can give this gift to ourselves as well. The spring of love needs to be refilled because we can't give anything we don't possess. Teaching this valuable life lesson to children will reap immeasurable returns. It was also good to see Koala asking who needed a hug and let his friends come to him, not forcing anything. I think it teaches children early on to be of service to others in healthy and happy ways. Little children LOVE hugs and in giving to others we give to ourselves. Seeing this adorable Koala's face makes me smile and want to give big hugs away to everyone. Thank You Sally for another inspiring book. -- Amazon Customer

Love this book! I could give IT a hug! It is cleverly written and illustrated to include a host of animals, who all, naturally, need a hug. The message seems to be - everyone needs hugs and everyone needs love. I know we will read this book often in our very huggable family. -- Beverly Mills Just a wonderful book that reminds us of all ages the significance of a hug. It's one of the best free things that life has to offer. We are also reminded that as important as it is to give hugs; it's also important to receive them (and to show love to ourselves). -- Lisa Thoms This is a wonderful reminder of the most precious gift we can give another.

Children love and NEED hugs as they continue to try and figure out this world we live in. As adults it's important to remember what role models we are, so giving and receiving hugs help all of us to refill our tanks. Sally's latest book gives us a great way to emphasize the importance of hugs for all. By including giving ourselves hugs Sally is helping little people gain self-confidence and self-esteem. We all can thrive with more hugs each day! Hats off, Ms. Huss, for another great read and reminder! -- Sue Crum Loved the story and the koala's openness to sharing hugs, as well as adapting to the needs of the receiver. He allowed anyone who said they wanted a hug to be given one they will always remember.... even when he gave one to himself! What a wonderful way for children to learn to share their hugs - with themselves, parents, grandparents, and friends! -- L.M. Larson
