A good read!

Won't You Be My Hugaroo? by Joanne Ryder and Melissa Sweet is the perfect children's book of special occasion hugs between friends and family members. As a grandmother, I choose to make myself the hugger of all my special grandchildren.

Whether it is a catch-you hug that is full of play, a twirly hug that will make you spin, a cheer-up hug to save the day, a good-bye hug that is long and slow or any of the other special hugs, children and adults alike will enjoy this delightful book about caring for others through hugs.

The illustrations are whimsical, colorful and eye-catching and will capture the attention of the little ones spending some special time with Won't You Be My Hugaroo?

Armchair Interviews says: Won't You Be My Hugaroo? is a children's book for all occasions, especially at bedtime when the special hugs will have to last the night. And what can be better than nodding off, after a hug, knowing you are cherished? Now that's security.

The most underrated toddler's book?

This is one of the best books for our 20-month-old precocious girl; I was floored to see only three reviews on Amazon.

This book is as good as Goodnight, Zoo, and that is saying a LOT!

The verses scan (unlike MOST of the children's poetry I read), the watercolor artwork is excellent (again, unlike most of the children's books out there), and perhaps most importantly, the sum of the words and the art is greater than the parts.

A surprisingly complex story is told here.

The elephant losing the balloon has almost brought tears to my child's face, but ultimately the story has a happy ending.

A side note: this book is significantly better than Kissaroo, but be sure to check both books out in the library.

A gem of a book

This is a wonderful book! Filled with all kinds of hugs--a cozy hug, a cheer-up hug, a twirly hug, to name just a few--the lively, fun-to-read text paints a picture of a warm and loving world. The illustrations show colorfully dressed zebras, elephants, bunnies, and pigs (really people in animal guise) spending an exciting, hug-filled day at an amusement park. This is a world where hugs are fun ("A tickle hug will make you jiggle, and laugh and squeal, and squirm and wiggle") as well as reassuring ("A calming hug will see you through, when something scary frightens you"). Lots of opportunities here for interacting with your favorite hugaroo. This one is a winner!

This book is in my top list of children's books

This is one of my grandbabies favorites....and I have five. I make certain I buy it for any expectant parents I know. I find myself asking my grandkids, 'Won't you be my Hugaroo?' even when we're not reading the book.

It's playtime at the amusement park, and there are lots of hugs to go around. From the spinning twirly hug to the playful catch-you hug--and even to the long good-bye hug when nobody wants to leave--each one is a celebration of a friendship and of a special moment.

In this companion book to Won't You Be My Kissaroo?, Joanne Ryder's sweet, lyrical text and Melissa Sweet's snuggly illustrations deliver the perfect book to share with all your favorite hugaroos.
