Do You Want a Hug?
by Olivia Cosneau & paper engineer: Bernard Duisit
A well produced board book with a different type of tab to pull or flap to lift on each two-page spread. Various animals are asked “do you want a hug?” They give different answers and show affection in their own ways, so this book can be an early introduction for little ones to the concept of consent, as well as being a fun, interactive read.
Ages 1-4 (a bit of attention needed to ensure younger readers don’t rip it apart)
