Sloppy Wants a Hug, Volume 1 by Sean Julian

4.0

'Sloppy Wants a Hug' is a really cute story about two best friends called Dewdrop and Sloppy. Humans, this story is 100% the cutest children’s book I have read to date. The character of Sloppy reminds me so much of myself and I love all the ways they try to get Dewdrop to hug them. But I also love the character of Dewdrop, they’re sassy and sweet and just overall brilliant.

The illustrations are so cute and for some apparent reason, they remind me of the Snoopy cartoons my Dad loves. The illustrations made this always sweet story so much sweeter, and if you ever need a book for your niece, nephew, child, or grandchild then I would highly recommend this one.

The lexis (the format and language structure) is truly brilliant and I love the flow of the story, particularly because the story is so short. The author has done an amazing job of creating the flow and I’m so so happy that I had the opportunity to read this book.

Thank you so much @northsouthbooks for sending me this book to read, I have loved every second of it and I’m so excited to share it with my future classes.

Rated: 4.5 stars
