Various types of hugs, including piggyback hugs, daddy hugs, birthday hugs, and ice-cube hugs ("quite common in February"), are described in one or two sentences per page. The illustrations, depicting an assorted group of cartoon-style animals, add humor to the rather saccharine text. A "Facts and Hints about Hugging" section is appended. This is a friendly if slight selection for youngsters.
