A Great Day for a Hug carries an ideal message for children of all ages
The importance of something as simple as a hug is too often under rated. The illustrations are effectively simplistic. The vocabulary includes the names of baby animals which provides additional teachable moments for children.
This book would be a great picture book for an ESL learner......lots of good vocabulary and the simple illustrations provide many discussion possibilities.
Every day is......A Great Day for a Hug!
Thanks to the author, Clavis Publishing, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

This is a simple but adorable children’s book. It follows Chick as she goes around giving hugs to the other farm animals, which I Chick’s way to help on the farm.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

A Great Day for a Hug is a cute little book for young toddlers. It is beautifully illustrated and written that will capture the little reader's attention and it introduces the little one to animals and the farm.. This book would be perfect for story time at home or in a public setting such as a Mommy and Me club or a Baby Story Time at a library. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book! (This review is also on GoodReads.)

A very simple but lovely book for little children - with the core message that a hug can make your day so much better. Skinship is definitely important & this book supports it!

Chick makes the farm animals feel special with hugs.
“A little hug can make your day feel better”
Showcases how a hug can brighten someone’s day.
Perfect book to read during circle time. Lots of moments throughout the story to stop and ask questions. Also, language development is so important in young children. The farm animals encourage language skills by learning what sounds they make.
Thank you to NetGallery, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion. All opinions expressed are my own.

Adorable book! Very hard to go wrong with a children's book and this one was a great bed time story to read to my own children.

*Thank you to NetGalley for providing this eARC.

You can't go wrong with a cute children's book and this one didn't disappoint. Definitely a cute read that I recommend getting for your kids

Review: An inspirational story for young children who may feel like they're not able to help with a lot of chores or jobs around the house. Very simple and bright colored illustrations focus more on the characters than the setting. The story centers on the feeling created by sharing hugs with one another as a way to help or brighten someone's day. A nice choice for young children who love animals!

Note: I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is my own.

Thanks to the author and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback.

This is a simple, straightforward book about a cute little bird who goes around hugging his animal friends. The passages aren't very difficult, so good for a young reader or for following along. The drawings are not overly complicated, they're very simple but really cute. My favorite was the bird and cow, as well as the piglet scenes. They were very sweet.

Cute book!

It's a great day for a hug! So so cute. This is a picture book about animal farms, which can be used in pre-school, in speech/language therapy or just at home. Really liked how Chick gave everyone a hug or a kiss. The art work is quite simple, but really pretty in my opinion. Would recommend checking this out if you little one is interested in animals and/or farms.

A cute, fun picture book that follows Chick giving hugs and kisses to all their animal friends. The illustrations were cute most children would enjoy this book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC of this book. It's actually cute, an easy read and I find it really sweet.

solid 4/5 :)

Although I might not be the target audience for this book, I found it to be very cute, just to my liking. Younger children will definitely enjoy this short and cute picture book.

A Great Day for a Hug by Mack van Gageldonk is a very cute story for toddlers. The pictures are beautiful. Children love hugs and will love this story. I would love to read this story to my granddaughter she will especially love the duck in the story.

This is such a cute little book with lots of fun farm animals and a little chick who loves to go around making everyone happy with hugs. The chick getting muddy with the pig and the ensuing mess was definitely the best part! The kids loved it!
Many thanks to Clavis Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Cute book! This has a great message of just offering hugs to friends who may need them. The pictures weren't super complex or over the top. I liked the paler colors that were chosen for this.

A great Day for a Hug is a cute picture book about a chick who helps out around the farm by giving everyone hugs and kisses. The illustrations are sweet and colorful. This book has sweet text but I prefer toddler books to be rhyming for interest and development. The descriptions of the animals waking up and going back to sleep were good!

Our little baby chick is a special kind of friend. She shows empathy and love to all of those on the farm. Even those that might be scared like the pig, she talks to them kindly till they are ready for a friend to help them. The drawings are simple, we get lots of emotion words to talk about, and also get to identify many different farm animals.

I think the first few pages may be a little wordy, but when it gets into the story of the chick interacting with animals it is simple enough to follow along for my children and we can interact by pointing to the animals when we say the names and talk about emotions of kindness and giving hugs.

This is a sweet book about the different jobs everyone has on the farm including the little chick. This book is a reminder that even someone small can make a big impact on those around them. The pictures were cute too!

A Great Day for a Hug is an adorable piece of story about Chick who goes around the farm and hugs all the farm animals. It's an endearing story and very easy to read. We're proud to say that this encouraged one of our little ones to try reading for the first time!
