Huggable! A Caboodles of Cuddles for the Baby You Love by Alice Luffman et al

ONE LITTLE BEAR CUB

ONE BIG BEAR HUG.

Where does baby belong? Why, with his or her family, in a warm embrace, of course!

Roger Priddy Books has a new style of board book, the "Picture Fit Board Book," with tactile raised figures of a series of endearing babies and fond families--a puppy, penguin, bear, dolphin, and koala--and the sort of hug he or she loves, whether it be in a pod, basket, or eucalyptus tree--which fit into the recessed facing page. The animals are pictured simply, yet identifiably, and the repetition in the text is enticing.

There are endearing baby animals with names to learn and some ear-pleasing alliterated text to engage the youngest in this Picture-Fit title, Picture Fit Board Books: A Caboodle of Cuddles (Priddy Books/St. Martin's Press, 2018), created by Alice Luffman, Nocole Friggens, Penny Worms, and Amy Oliver, a fun salute to family affection just published for young board book lovers.
