I’m going to give you a bear hug.
A show you how much I care hug.
A good night
     Sleep tight
        Way beyond compare hug.

I’m Going to Give You a Bear Hug!, written by bestselling author Caroline B. Cooney and illustrated by Tim Warnes, is a playful and comforting bedtime padded board 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 off to sleep.



Caroline B. Cooney is the bestselling author of teen suspense, mystery, and romance novels that have sold over 15,000,000 copies and are published in several languages. Of all her books, she is best known for the young adult novel The Face on the Milk Carton that has sold over 3,000,000 copies and was made into a television movie. 

Caroline grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and spent most of her life on the shoreline of that state. She currently resides in South Carolina. She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, playing piano, walking near her home, pottery, jewelry-making, and, of course, reading.

My Review

This is such a adorable book! I love the story on hugs I never knew there was so many different hugs. This book has I believe 16 different hugs. The story is so cute a rhyming story of hugs. Kids will love the illustrations they are so bright and colorful. The grand kids love it. Caroline and Tim did a wonderful job. A must have for the wee ones!
