The Runaway Hug by Nick Bland - ESSENTIAL

Bland, Nick The Runaway Hug, illustrated by Freya Blackwood.  PICTURE BOOK.  Random House, 2014.  $17.  Content: G.  

A little girl asks her mom for a hug before bedtime.  Teasing her, mom says ok, but its her very last one, so she needs to be careful.  As the girl goes around hug her family members, she takes good care of the hug, until someone runs off without returning it.  The girl is very worried that she will not see her mommy’s hug again.  Okay – I’m in love.  This is a book I want to buy for every family I know with children of any age.  A perfect bed time story; a perfect story time book – a perfect gift for someone you love.  Stop buying Munsch’s Love You Forever and get this instead!
