One of my favorites!

Hug, written by Jez Alborough, is one of my favorite children's books.  I like this book because it grows with children as they grow. Infants like it because of the beautiful illustrations and simple text.  Toddlers begin to understand the emotions behind the monkey's different expressions even though he is saying the same word, hug.  My preschoolers like this book because the simple text allows them to memorize the words and read the text independently.  Reading this book to children gives room for a lot of open ended questions.  This is a must have in your early childhood library!
