A sweet and cute book about a boy who loves to hug! He is a real hug machine~
I was looking for something cute to read for Valentine’s Day, or at least, have a cute review up for my blog on Valentine’s Day as it is 9-2 today, and I came across this book! About hugs!
I loved that the book started with a hug checklist! This boy has plans~ Everything and everyone is getting a big ol’ hug from the little fella~ I was definitely curious about some of his items, like we see a bear? A snake? A whale? I was wondering how he would get his checklist done.
And so we see him hug everything. From small to big. From alive to not so alive. He is a true hugging machine and I had a laugh at all he encountered on his walks. I am not entirely sure how people felt about his hugs. We see most people just looking bewildered but a few people (and animals) seem moved and happy to have gotten a hug. I loved that he wasn’t afraid to hug the spikiest or the biggest things he encountered, he thought of a brilliant way to give them all that love!
I loved that we got to see maps with how he hugged people. His path is all over the place but all he cares about is hugging!
Pizza is always a great answer! I would also say that. Yum. Now I am hungry for pizza. looks around
The ending just made me smile so so much and boy I loved it! That was just the way to end this book!
The art was really adorable and the style really fitted with the book! It made me go aww a lot.
All in all, this is a book I would highly recommend on this beautiful day of love and happiness! Come get your hug from the hug machine~

ظريف لدرجة أنه خلاني أضحك بصوت عالي. يعني، ظريف لأقصى درجة.

Very Cute little book! I really enjoyed the illustrations, and the story is sweet and funny. A great read-aloud for kids that parents will also enjoy.

I really enjoyed this book, but didn't tip into loving it due to the somewhat troubling lack of boundaries and consent. If the majority of characters looked pleased to be receiving their hugs, I'd feel different, but most of them look rather perplexed and slightly violated.

The title is interesting. And the art is not actually bad. But the rest of the book is just lame. There is no story and the text is repetitive. The ending could have been worse.
