Hugs and Kisses
An irresistibly appealing puppy named Hugs sets out one morning on a quest. He asks every animal he meets for a kiss, and they are all happy to oblige. The pup discovers that duck's kisses are hard and wet; a horse's kiss is a little sticky, but very warm; the pig's kiss is a little muddy and bristly, tickley but tender.

My insanely busy 2 year old son sat through this entire book on our first attempt. He didn't even try to turn the pages early or say "dun, dun" He did however make the animal sounds of all the animals hugs the puupy greeted and asked for a kiss.

I fell head over heels in love with little Hugs the dog in this story. Early one morning he sneaks away from his sleeping family because "there was something he had to find out."

This is probably my favorite from the series from Loupy/Tharet. Hugs goes out in search of something and gets a kiss from all of the farm animals and a bunny and butterfly that just happen to come by to compare to the one from his mom. Just adorable. The illustrations are nice as always and all the animals kept my son interested. You could use it to teach body parts (cheek, nose, forehead, neck, mouth) and adjectives too, if you're child's brilliant and patient. Mine... not so much.
Despite several oft-repeated phrases, the story is cute and heartwarming.
