Mommy Hugs (DaddyMommy) Board book – Illustrated, May 1, 2003

So fun to act out the hugs with your baby.

While I wasn't thrilled with the artwork in this series of books, it is still a cute book. We can go over all the different kinds of animals in the book, be silly on each page and mimic what the animals are doing, and these books have taught our son that he is not the only person/creature who has someone that they call "Mommy" or "Daddy". He would at first point to us very confused when we started reading the book, like "Hey, YOU are Daddy/Mommy!" but very quickly caught on and starts pointing at the "parent" animal and the baby animal exclaiming "Daddy/Mommy Bear(or whatever animal)" or "Baby Puppy! (or whatever)". It's endearing, and educational as they learn about this part of life, and differentiate between all the animal species, learn new words, and these books are fairly small too so our son carries them around the house pretending to read them all day too. Cute stocking stuffer or present for Mother's/Father's day for the new parents!

This is the sweetest little book to read to your babies and toddlers. My 7 year old will still occasionally ask me to read it to him because he loves the kisses and hugs I give him as we act out every page. We now buy this book for every baby gift that we give!

The books in this series are wonderful. Originally I bought them for my daughter simply because I loved the illustrations, but they are much more. My daughter now knows the names of so many baby animals, and it goes beyond the basics, such as "puppy" and "kitten". The story is as basic as can be and that is part of the beauty of the book. The ending with "my mommy hugs me" always delighted my child. She is six now and rarely looks at the books, but we are already reading them to her one year old sister.

this book is adorable and my daughter (20 months) loves it, especially when i act out each thing that the mommies do - the mommy monkey loves her baby with a pat, the mommy swan loves her cygnet with a nibble, etc. she gets a kick out of it. very cute, short, and sweet book.

Great book. Short and sweet. Very easy for my son to remember. It is one of our nightly reads. I bought this copy as a gift

Cute book! We have the rest of the series and this one did not disappoint either! Perfect for babies and toddlers.

We have Daddy Kisses at home and my children LOVE it. So naturally we added Mommy Hugs to our collection. Following through with the hugs is a little more difficult than kissing a head or a neck or a paw. We read both books every night to my young children and it's a wonderful way to end each night.

Cute book. My 14 month old likes it and I enjoy reading it to her.

この本はとてもかわいいです。Daddy Kissesもあります。両方ともいいです。This book is very cute! We also have Daddy Kisses, and we hug and kiss our baby while we read. The pictures are beautiful and I think our baby will like this book as he gets older.
