Customer Reviews

Witty and heartwarming

This book is beautifully written & illustrated. Every child with a sibling will identify with this book--and so will their parents! It sends a great message, too. Best of all, "Hugs and Kisses" shows profound wit and characterization that's lacking in many modern kids' books.

The colorful rabbit drawings by Susan Wheeler are adorable

Siblings can't decide which one the mother loves the most, so they decide to hold a contest: whoever receives the most hugs and kisses before sundown is their mother's favorite child. The colorful rabbit drawings by Susan Wheeler are adorable in this intriguing story.
