The Giant Hug is one my favorite books, especially to read to the grandchildren. Owen is a little pig who wants to send his grandmother a big hug....he opens his arms as wide and he possibly can and sends his hug through the mail touching the hearts of all the animal postal delivery people along the way from the clerk sitting at the post office, to the mail sorter, to to the driver to the mail plane pilot, to the pick-up to the delivery van....etc. Each passing the hug along until it gets to Granny. And then Granny does the most remarkable thing - she sends him back a big kiss!
OKAY OKAY....this book might not be Me Too correct but it is just so darn cute!
Sweet story about a hug being passed through the mail from a grandchild to his grandma. The love spreads from person to person along the way as each character actually passes a hug to the next person. Would be fun to read aloud around Valentine's Day or Grandparent's Day.
a little pig sends a note along with a hug to his grandmother. he gives a hug to the postman, who gives a hug to the next person, who gives a hug to the next person. finally the hug gets to his grandmother.
