La macchina degli abbracci. Ediz. illustrata

Do you remember that old Shel Silverstein poem “Hug O’ War”? This may be considered sacrilege but did you ever notice how the guy could do something brilliant one moment, like “Sister For Sale” and then turn around and do something just doggone maudlin like “Hug O’ War” the next?

وسط یه روژ شلوغ به این کتاب بامزه برخوردم و عاشق تصویرسازی و بانمک بودنش شدم:)

Super cute and even lough-out-loud funny. I especially love the expressions on the faces of all the unwitting hugees.

It's cute, but it would've been cuter with consent, ya know? Not everyone looked happy to be hugged.

A sweet and cute book about a boy who loves to hug! He is a real hug machine~ I was looking for something cute to read for Valentine’s Day, or at least, have a cute review up for my blog on Valentine’s Day as it is 9-2 today, and I came across this book! About hugs! I loved that the book started with Leggi tutto

Everyone needs a hug. But I'm not sure if this is the book to get that message across. First of all, I was distracted by the freaky long arms of the kid. Sorry, it creeped me out.

I'm a huge fan of Hug Machine and my fandom of Hug Machine has grown to incorporate all the children at my school. Now, I'm happy to say, Hug Machine is a board book, and a whole new group of our youngest readers can hear this lovely story of a child who hugs everything he sees.
