Publishers Weekly

Lifting flaps shows cute-as-can-be animals receiving enthusiastic “hugaboos” from their grown-up counterparts. “If you were a little kangaroo... You would get a jumpy hugaboo!” (Under the flap, a big kangaroo holds a little one tight.) A lion cub gets a furry hugaboo, and for a baby giraffe it's a tall hugaboo on a flap that unfolds twice to reveal the big giraffe's neck. In a showy finish, a friendly bear opens its paws and offers a “hugaboo for you!” Likely to inspire some animal-themed hugs. Ages 3–5. (Dec.)

Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot

What is a "hugaboo?" Apparently, it is just a made up word for an ordinary hug. The pictures are amusing and the expressions created mostly with the eyes will bring smiles to little ones. The nearly full page flaps reveal another picture of the big hug and answer the implied question. "If you were a little octopus…" lift the flap and learn that "…you would get a WET hugaboo!" There are sheep, a kangaroo, porcupine, lion cub, giraffe and finally on the last page a very large bear. Open both flaps which make up its arms and you get your own hugaboo. Silly fun with attractive watercolor and pencil illustrations. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
