"What time does the clock say?" I hear this from my toddler son all day long, so this book is perfect for sharing about all the activities of a day and the times reflected on the clock faces around our house.
I was wondering why it was never time for Daddy to come home...

I love hugs. They’re suitable for everyone, always appropriate, and so intimate and lovely. hugs are my favorite way of expressing love.

This book teaches the concept of time and gives the reader time to pause so everyone can get a hug.

Read this in B&N the other day. It is really cute. Very nicely written rhymes and perfect for my daughter who loves to give hugs.

Once upon a time I had a teacher who would check the clock every once in a while to keep track of the lesson's progress, and each time she would loudly proclaim: "What time is it? AWESOMETIME!" This always served to perk everyone up, and it is a saying in my household to this day.
I'm very much reminded of my teacher in this friendly book. Momma bunny and her child go through their day together, recounting their various enjoyable activities as they keep track of the hours passing by. And every now and then comes the cheerful refrain: "What time is it? Time for a hug!" What a lovely reminder to take a few moments out of our day for hugs, just because.
Everything about this book makes me smile. The illustrations are beyond cute. The language is light and chipper and flows well. The rhymes feel pleasant and natural, not forced or formulaic. There's so much love between mom and child, and it's obvious they're really enjoying each other's company. I bet there are quite a few homes where the refrain will become part of the family vernacular: What time is it? Time for a hug!

This is the third/final and most sentimental book in our family's bedtime routine (thanks to our friends Annie and Marc, who gifted it to us). The book is a sweet, simple one that follows parent bunny* and a kid bunny along their day. As the story moves from morning to night with a simple rhyming rhythm (and presumably helps teach a kid to tell time using an analog clock), the bunnies joyfully return to an easy refrain: "What time is it? Time for a hug!"**
*While I initially read the book as gender-neutral (or gender-liberated, as adrienne maree brown might say), you could definitely argue that the illustrations show a "traditional" papa bunny, who appears only in a family portrait, with mama and baby bunny as all-day-and-night sidekicks.
**And if you're assuming that I'm *that* #MeToo-era parent who cheerfully interjects "If everyone feels like it!" or "If everyone agrees!" every other night or so...you are right.

My son chose this as one of his prizes for the summer reading program at the American Library in Paris. It is a lovely book. Perhaps geared more toward 3 and 4 year olds (mine is 5) but he enjoyed it very much all the same. The rhymes are good and the idea of stopping for hugs throughout the day is very sweet. The concept of time and that we do certain things at certain times of the day is introduced very well. The illustrations are wonderful.
