An adorable bunny family proves that it's always the right time for a hug. After waking up, having breakfast, doesn't everyone enjoy a hug? The rhyming text and colorful illustrations follow the bunnies through the day's activities, but they hug at nine, ten, and all through the rest of the day's activities. Next time someone asks you what time it is, you can respond with a hug. The book has a sweet message as well as showing the affection between a child and a parent. I loved how the older bunn...more

This text has just the right amount of bounce to balance out the super-sweet illustrations...so much bounce that I found myself reading it out loud to my very patient husband as he was making dinner. These bunnies pack a lot of busy into their day but every time is just right for a hug.

Marked as holiday so I remember to pull it out for Valentine's Day.

A bit on the cheesy side, but still cute. A good parent-to-child read--especially if you give lots of hugs throughout. Could work in teaching a child progression in a day. Pictures are so cute--my favorite part!

3/27/13 & 3/28/13 Perfect for the bunny theme. I made a simple clock and did the most simplistic 1-minute teaching of how to tell time. And the kids totally picked up on it! Then I pulled out my special guest--a huge bunny we have in our storytime collection. Hugged him every time it...more

I thought this book would be perfect for younger children because there weren't too many words. The book incorporated counting as well. Whenever the bunny asked what time it was it was always a good time for a hug. The illustrations were colorful and enjoyable for all ages as well.

Nice rhyming text and sweet illustrations make this a great one for storytime. Momma and her baby bunny share what they do at certain times of the day, all intermixed with hugs!
Good R2R practice demonstration & skill building, telling time, concept of day to night.

I couldn't decide whether to give this one 3 or 4 stars. I went with 4 because I'm on the prowl for good choices to read aloud in our book babies storytimes (for kids under 2 yrs), and this one seems like it will be a fun one to share.

Cute book that Santa brought for our youngest (who is always ready for a hug). I like that it goes through the whole day, and it's just a sweet, enjoyable picture book.

This is a cute little book with a great flow.It'd be great for preschoolers to work on telling time as well as ways to show their love for one another.

This is such a sweet book! I love the pictures, the little bunnies are so huggable! This is a perfect book to snuggle and read with a little one before bed.

I adore this book. It would be great for multiple story time themes: counting, time, daily routine, teddy bear/stuffed animal...or just for fun.
Great Books
Big and little bunny share a day full of fun, from their rise in the morning till they tuck in at night. Children will find comfort and joy in the bunnies daily routine and knowing that there is always time for a hug.

When is a good time for a hug? Any time! I loved reading this, gave me about 50 excuses to give my daughter a squeeze while sharing.
Erica
Read this in B&N the other day. It is really cute. Very nicely written rhymes and perfect for my daughter who loves to give hugs.
Anastasia Tuckness
Sweet little book about a day in the life of a toddler/preschooler bunny. Use with numbers, time, family, weather themes.

You know those books that are so cute you just want to hug them? Haha! But yeah, this is definitely one of those. Great rhythm to this one, sweet illustrations, and the story is...well, super cute--but more in a make-you-smile-and-giggle kind of way than in a so-syrupy-you-want-to-gag kind of way...
Shara Eddy
This book could be used for an introductory lesson on time. It shows the time on the hour, but does not go into intervals.
Nicole
Sweet. We go through the daily life activities of the Mommy bunny and her little one...complete with all the hugs in-between...
Andd Becker
This charming story in verse can help young children learn the time-sequence of ordinary daily activities.
Ann
Possibly use it with Charlotte Diamond's Four Hugs a Day. And having an excuse to hug, every other page, is hilarious.
Poway
This book teaches the concept of time and gives the reader time to pause so everyone can get a hug.
Linda Winkler
cut bunnies go from morning to night doing regular activities, but always finding time for a hug.
