"[A] sweet, brief rhyming tale celebrating hugs at any hour of the day . . . . The pleasingly predictable rhyme will have preschoolers chiming in all the way to the page where the covers are pulled up. Worth a pause and may well inspire a hug or two." - Kirkus Reviews "[A] sweet, brief rhyming tale celebrating hugs at any hour of the day . . . .
