I’m Going To Give You A Bear Hug is a sweet book about the different kind of hugs you can get from different animals. It’s a cute book for young kids. I got the book to read to the kids over our Skype chats. Since I only get to see the kids on major holidays and summer break. Having our bonding moments is harder than it should be. So the time I get to Skype them, I really try to read a book each time to them.
