A child figures out the best way to hug a porcupine as he watches his friends hug other animals.

This very special hug in a book is the perfect way to say I love you. Using a range of images from the World of Eric Carle, and featuring Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Panda Bear, Baby Bear, and more, this ... gift book celebrates the affirming power of a hug.

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, whimsical rhymes encourage playful interaction between parent and child and ultimately help them wind down before they snuggle into bed and drift...

A boy explains why, when compared with other animals, his teddy bear is the best one to cuddle with.

Describes the many different kinds of hugs and, when the book is flipped over, the many different kinds of kisses that are everywhere, such as "lost and found hugs" and "see you soon kisses."
