Book Reviews of The Giant Hug
Book Review: A wonderful portrayal of long-distance love between a grandparent and grandchild.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a long-distance grandmother, and "The Giant Hug" has grown on me. It is becoming one of my favorite picture books. Sandrah Horning puts a new spin on hugs, kisses, and faraway Grandmas. Valeri Gorbachev's delightful "hugging animal" illustrations accentuate the heartwarming text.
A little pig named Owen wants to send a giant hug to his faraway Granny. "Do you want to draw a picture of you hugging Granny?" his mother asked.
"No," Owen said. "I want to send a real hug." And so he does; with nine giant hugs being passed along through the postal system until the tenth one is delivered to Granny. The ending is a sweet and amusing surprise.
