| First double page spread. The photographs in this book DEFINITELY have the cute factor |
Sharing this book without sharing a cuddle is like eating a donut without licking your lips!
'I Love Hugs' is a cute book which combines interesting animal facts with endearing photographs and comments about physical affection. The information describes relationships in the animal world, focusing on their social and protective behaviours. It highlights how the instinctive behaviours of animals are often akin to the social behaviours of human beings.
Each page opens with some playful and affectionate words from the perspective of the animals. On the raccoon page we first read:
We love to hug trees! We are brothers, and holding hands makes us feel all warm inside.

| Brotherly love.... |
Mother raccoons have babies once a year. They have three to seven babies at a time, and they look after them in dens they have built in trees.
The photographs are large and clear and each double page spread informs us about one animal- fifteen in all. The author has interpreted the actions and expressions of the animals and matched these with fitting comments e.g. the Northern white-cheeked gibbons have a sad expression and the author writes:
When a friend is feeling sad, just wrap your arms around them and gently squeeze.
The photographs are a collection of animals playing, resting and gathering in their natural habitats featuring groups or parents and their young. The book describes affectionate behaviour and the feelings associated with it e.g. play fights, cosy cuddles, feeling protected & safe , holding hands, feeling warm inside, cuddling for warmth.
