From School Library Journal

PreS-Loving mother/child embraces are counted, from one nuzzle-wuzzle wake-up hug to ten 'I love you...' good-night hugs. The baby's day also includes encouraging two 'Choo-choo! Open wide!' yummy hugs at breakfast, comforting 'I'll always catch you!' sliding hugs at the park, and so on. Each spread features the number word in lower-case letters, the numeral, and countable heart shapes. Katz's trademark round-headed characters are cheerful and exude warmth. The sunny pictures capture familiar activities, and a playful puppy is part of the scene. The collage, gouache, and colored-pencil illustrations have polka-dot and floral patterns that add visual interest. This book is great for interactive baby storytimes.-Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
