A bit on the cheesy side, but still cute. A good parent-to-child read--especially if you give lots of hugs throughout. Could work in teaching a child progression in a day. Pictures are so cute--my favorite part!3/27/13 & 3/28/13 Perfect for the bunny theme. I made a simple clock and did the most simplistic 1-minute teaching of how to tell time. And the kids totally picked up on it! Then I pulled out my special guest--a huge bunny we have in our storytime collection. Hugged him every time it said "hug." Parents picked up on giving their kids hugs at those times, and kids sitting away from parents were fine with giving themselves hugs. The clock and the bunny worked perfectly in keeping them engaged, and then I let them come up and take turns hugging the bunny. That may have been their favorite part. An adorable bunny family proves that it's always the right time for a hug. After waking up, having breakfast, doesn't everyone enjoy a hug? The rhyming text and colorful illustrations follow the bunnies through the day's activities, but they hug at nine, ten, and all through the rest of the day's activities. Next time someone asks you what time it is, you can respond with a hug. The book has a sweet message as well as showing the affection between a child and a parent. I loved how the older bunny keeps coming up with activities to occupy the attention of the little one. I appreciated the fact that although the older one is probably the mother--there's a photograph on the wall showing the family--she could have been an older sister.
What do You think about Time For A Hug (2012)?
This book teaches the concept of time and gives the reader time to pause so everyone can get a hug.

I love this book and the idea of just stopping during the day to give a hug.
