A HUG-- A SPECIAL THING TO GIVE

Jules the kitten has a lot of love to give. He doesn't need to buy a toy or anything sweet for those he loves, but he does have plenty of hugs to give to the world. His hugs are for different things that live and grow on Earth, such as a giraffe, a buttercup or a pudu. Hug Time by Patrick McDonnell is such a lovely story to share. The message of embracing everyone and everything is heartwarming. This is great for story time or for sharing with those YOU love! I love this book!
