Abstract
Reviewed by: How Many Hugs? by Heather Swain Sarah Sahn Swain, Heather How Many Hugs?; illus. by Steven Henry. Feiwel, 2017 32p ISBN 978-1-250-06651-0 $16.99 R 3-6 yrs If two arms give one hug, how many hugs does a baby octopus get from its parent? How about a baby centipede, or a shrimpy little shrimp? Part counting book and part nature exploration, this title takes readers on a rhyming jaunt though the insect world and under the sea to meet a variety of many-legged critters who give their hugs in multiples, scattering tidbits of information with every encounter. Henry creates appealing beach and underwater scenes in a palette of lively blues and greens and populates them with smiling cartoonish animals that will leave viewers eager to give or receive a hug or two (or five) of their own. A multiracial family's visit to the beach frames the story and leaves readers with a warm affirmation of parental love. Back matter gives interested viewers more facts about each critter covered and will hopefully discourage them from attempting to hug the next spider they encounter.
