A Shweet Suggestion for Valentine’s Day

If you’re stuck for a new idea for spreading the love around this Valentine’s Day, Patrick McDonnell’s Hug Time might just solve the problem. In this gentle story for the young and the young-at-heart, Jules the cat (aka “Shtinky Puddin’”) sets out on a hugging marathon, starting with friends and neighbors before trotting the globe to embrace everyone he meets. The world really isn’t so big after all, Jules finds, and is made all the sweeter by a hug (or two!). Commonsense Media says:

Readers will discover just how powerful a hug can be. Kids and adults alike will be left feeling warm and fuzzy -- and ready to hug their neighbors.


Give Hug Time and be prepared to get a hug!
