This book is about a boy that hugs all the different animal but runs into a problem when trying to hug a porcupine. After trying different ways to go about hugging the porcupine he found you hug a porcupine "carefully." This is a great book for younger readers trying to learn rhyming. It is a fun and simple story that should bu used in kindergarten or lower. The illustrations are fun and do a good job in showing what all the different animals look like. ( )

Everyone deserves to be loved, even if it takes some planning and clever thinking. ( )

I was pleasantly surprised by this book by a new author [a:Laurie Isop|4588288|Laurie Isop|https://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-d9f6a4a5badfda0f69e70cc94d962125.png]: In rollicky rhyme, a book about hugging (sort of). The somewhat bland cover doesn't really do the book justice, as the pictures in the book are genuinely cute and fun! Considering one animal after the other, made us tangentially think of the lovely, now classic [b:Is Your Mama A Llama?|770038|Is Your Mama A Llama?|Deborah Guarino|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1328835648s/770038.jpg|2201870].

Is about how to hug different animals including a porcupine. The pictures are interesting and the reader learns a little bit about differences of animals when learning how to hug them. Most of all it enables the reader to read it in English and in Spanish. This book is good in teaching about differences in animals and can incorporate how we also have differences but is a good thing. ( )
