Campbell, Scott

PS
A young boy enthusiastically explains why he is the "best at hugging" everyone and everything. After a busy day full of hugging, he discovers it's just as nice to be hugged. Campbell's story retains its humor and accessibility in this smaller board-book trim size, thanks to plentiful white space surrounding the cartoony watercolor illustrations and a pithy, toddler-friendly text.

PS
This book's ebullient young narrator explains why he is the "best at hugging" everyone and everything. After a day full of hugging, the tuckered-out boy discovers it's just as nice to be hugged. The cartoony watercolor illustrations are a perfect counterpoint to the earnest text, from the round-headed boy with extra-long arms just right for hugging to the deadpan reactions of the recipients.
