"The book The Giant Hug has really good peri-text pages. Inside the front cover is the authors note and the author kind of hints at what the story is about but doesn't come right out and says it. Then the next inside pages have stamps on them. It gives the reader a hint that the book has to deal with something with stamps and something with hugs. Then the title page has a picture of a letter being sent to a granny from Owen Kane. It is basically telling us what the characters in the book are named."
"A piglet wants to send a giant hug in the mail- not a note- a hug. This amusing tale sends love across the country. Funny and fun. Kids love the story. teachers could slip it into their units about mail. You won't find a more engaging book that will follow the mail."
I really enjoyed the story line and reading it to my children. When Owen decides to send a hug to his Grandmother he does not realize how it touches the lives of others, too. A very sweet story with a fantastic lesson to it as well as more great illustrations by Valeri Gorbachev."
"MOMMY SAYS: I thought this storyline was so cute! This little pig has the perfect present to give his grandma: a hug. The only problem is, grandma lives too far away to deliver it in person ... so he sends one through the mail! It's fun to watch the hug be passed along through many carriers and how the delivery affects them. Definitely a feel-good storyline!
LOGAN SAYS: Well, a pig sends a hug to another pig - that's what happens in the story and it was silly."
