This adorable book, which features felt finger-puppet arms, is the perfect way for little ones to help the animals give hugs to their babies throughout the day.

This adorable board book, which features felt finger-puppet arms and gentle rhyming text, is the perfect way to spend special reading time with a little one.  Toddlers can help Mama Cat, Daddy Bear, and more animals give their babies a hug. Finger holes in the back of the book allow children to manipulate the arms to give hugs.
 
Simple text and soft illustrations show the adult and baby animal waking up to a new day, playing outside, and getting ready for bed. This sweet board book is perfect for parents or caregivers to share with their little ones.
Samantha Sweeney's favorite thing about writing and editing children's books is marveling at how much can be said in so few words. She lives in London in a tall house with a lot of stairs and comes up with some of her best ideas while she's on her way to the kitchen to make strong cups of tea. Her other great passion is soccer, and she is a dedicated supporter of a team that doesn't win very often.

Dawn Machell has been drawing for many different children's products for more than 30 years. She branched out into children's book illustration in 2014, and it's now her very favorite thing to do. She lives in West Yorkshire and works from her home studio while snacking on cheese and chocolate and dreaming of sunshine.
