I’m Going to Give You A Bear Hug by Caroline B. Cooney with giveaway

ABOUT THE BOOK:

I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug!, written by bestselling author Caroline B. Cooney, is a playful and comforting bedtime book that imagines all the wonderful ways a child might give and receive a hug.

Whether it’s a big bear, gasp for air, knock over a chair hug or a wet and drippy, slimy, slippy fish hug, children will giggle their way through all the imaginative examples. Cooney’s sweet and simple rhymes encourage playful interaction between parent and child and ultimately help them wind down before they snuggle into bed and drift off to sleep.

I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug is a sweet loving bedtime story book that is also sure to become a Valentine’s Day favorite for little ones who enjoy celebrating a day full of hugs and kisses from loved ones.

I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug will be available in hardcover for $16.99 in retail stores nationwide and online. 

Although my girls are adults now, I loved getting this book and reading it.  It is an adorable book to add to any family library with young children.  I loved the rhyming verse.  It's a giggle, silly, goofy book you'll have your young ones trying to think of new ways to give hugs.  This is a cute book to end the day on or just read in the middle of the day when you need to give hugs or need one yourself.  Come on admit it everyone needs a hug.  The illustrations are just as inspiring as the text itself.  They are colorful, bright and bold.  I'm going to add this one to the church library.
