Daddy Hugs

Description

Daddy and baby animals cuddle up in this cozy board book featuring animal families, habitats, and sounds. Little ones love daddy hugs: feathered hugs, whiskered hugs, cozy hugs, just-daddy-and-me hugs. Each illustration of Daddy Hugs playfully teases to the next with hints of a new animal pair to come, until the story winds down with a human father gently rocking his son to sleep. From furry bears to silky hares, Caldecott honoree Nancy Tafuri celebrates the extra special bond between daddies and their babies in this perfect gift for Father's Day.

Nancy Tafuri is recognized for her exquisitely detailed depictions of farm animals and cuddly woodland creatures. She has authored more than forty-five books for the very young, including All Kinds of Kisses and Have You Seen My Duckling?, which won a Caldecott Honor. Nancy lives in Connecticut.
