There are lots of ways that parents nurture and hug their offspring -- not just with arms! But no matter how the embrace is made, one thing remains the same: all hugs are given with love. Told in sweet rhyme with soft pictures: hugs with noses (elephants) and hugs in red roses (ladybugs) show that from the largest animals to the small bug, hugs are important to all! This sturdy board book (best for toddlers) shows how all sorts of animals express affection for one another. I love this little book for Father's Day, because even though it's about all kinds creatures, the last page shows a Dad hugging his child. (Written by Lorie Ann Grove and illustrated by Rebecca Malone)If you'd like to read my post about Father's Day choices for older readers and Dads-who-love-baseball, CLICK HERE. Last year I posted "Celebrating Dads", with a variety of picture books for kids up to age 8. Another great Father's Day book is THE FATHERS ARE COMING HOME
