What reviewers said
As featured in The Sunday Times as 'Children's Book of the Week' and on Celebrate Picture Books
"Whimsical and imaginative celebration of the physical book. Really lovely to read aloud, this comes with echoes of Dr Seuss."
"Simple rhyme and retro style illustrations lead you through the tactile pages of this book. Think where you might read it, what you might share with it, how it will become your friend. Instill a love of reading."
"Striking... Not just an irresistible celebration of books, but also an imaginative journey. [Hug This Book!] invites playfulness, reading upside down in the mirror, tickling, singing snoring, dancing and eating letters of the alphabet. It encourages making up stories and also involves the adult reader... The effect is to associate adventure, cosines, laughter, companionship and fun with reading, and with learning to read."
"A funny tale that will go down well on Christmas morning, before the real feast begins."
"This is a perfect read-aloud story for inquisitive toddlers and preschool children - one that they will turn to time and again."
