“Snuggles, Kisses & Hugs: Have A Party” is truly an amazing book with a lot of heart! Featuring three wonderful characters who can’t be more different from each other, it’s a story that’s bound to prove how our differences need not keep us from forming a solid and lasting friendship that could overcome countless challenges in life.
From the very beginning of the book, it has been dedicated to parents who wanted to raise their children to be good people when they grow up. It’s something that has quickly etched a mark of sincerity to a reader like me even before I read the rest of the story. Isn’t it what all parents desire to do? And what better way than through a fun-filled and engaging book that would dig deep into the heart and imagination of young ones?
In this story, Snuggles The Bouncing Bunny, Kisses The Fashion Fox, and Hugs The Ballerina Bear will be faced with a seemingly simple yet difficult task of preparing a party for their common friend Tickles The Turtle. How would they go about arranging for this party considering their personal preferences that seem to contradict one another’s liking? Could they find a way to overcome their differences for the sake of their beloved pal?
Vivid illustrations that excellently capture this fantastic story help the children to better imagine how these three friends try to prepare a party despite their unique tastes. Each character is adorable and easy to love. The setting is also wonderfully illustrated creating a colorful and memorable atmosphere that’s fit for this endearing story.
This is a book that stands out both in visual presentation as well as in its deeper substance. A book that parents and children can enjoy reading together whether during the day or before taking the kids to sleep at night. I can imagine this to be a well-loved bedtime story that children can appreciate listening to over and over again.
A child’s memory is often the best place to let good seeds of love, compassion and kindness grow. Through this book, a wonderful story of friendship could very well spread some of those seeds with the help of parents and teachers who could spend priceless moments of bonding and adventure with them through reading.
I highly recommend this book! It is not only entertaining and worth one’s time, but it is also filled with heart-warming lessons that could equip and assist children for life.
