I Hug (I Like to Read, Guided Reading Level A)

With a simple text, where only one word changes per page, beloved author/illustrator David McPhail has crafted a sweet story in which a small child shows her love for everything around her—her cat and dog, her favorite tree, and of course, her family and friends.

The gentle watercolor illustrations reflect and reinforce the text, offering clues to help new readers and adding warmth and detail to the scenes. This charming story is perfect to read with a loved one—or simple enough to be the first book a child reads on their own.
