An amusing little piece, with a young girl happy to give a hug to her pet cat when it feels icky, but who doesn't realise that it will lead to everything else needing a hug, including the local skunk, a passing porcupine, and possibly even a unicorn. It's a pleasant way to pass a couple of minutes, but I think it's a bit of a one-joke book, that therefore won't be taken off the shelf too often. It's certainly enjoyable, though – and I suppose you could hang discussion of bodily contact, permission etc on it, if you must spoil the fun. Four stars is a touch generous, but it's a friendly book, so I'm being so, too.

I mean what just happened?

I am so like hugging myself right now because of this book! This book made me feel like I was reading a really amazing comic strip! And wow it's so well done!

Who would have thought I would enjoy a mere few pages of beautifully illustrated children's picture book on hugs featuring all kinds of wild animals and a sweet little girl who ultimately freaks out because of others demanding too much hugs from her?!

Well, I DID!

As a Webtoons series addict, I raise all my ten fingers up to say that I approve of this book one hundred percent! The kids are already missing out on something this amazing! Grab the copy!

Thanks #NetGalley for the book!

Hugs? By Charlene Chua is the sweetest little book about the exciting and sometimes annoying nature of giving hugs!

Our little leading lady gives a lot of hugs! To her kitty when they don't feel well, to a dog who just wants a hug, and to many other creatures that come her way. Suddenly, creatures that aren't as huggable want hugs and our poor friend is feeling kind of worn out!

This book isn't educational, but it was very sweet. I can see very young kids enjoying this book to see all the animals. It can be a very interactive book if parents try to make it fun! There is probably some lesson about saying no and how hugs can make you feel good, so there is a way to make it educational!

I really like the illustrations. They had a soft yet simple feel. I feel like they fit the sweet nature of this book really well.

Overall, I really like this book! It's sugary sweet and totally worth the read! If you have kids that love picture books and animals, grab this book!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for supplying me a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
