Today I read one of our new Picture Books to Prep JC and Prep CV. It is called Hugless Dougless and is written and illustrated by David Melling. (We also love his book The Kiss That Missed).
Hugless Douglas is a bear who wakes up from his long winter sleep in need of a hug. He hugs lots of things but none of them are quite right until rabbit helps Douglas track down the BEST hug.
The Preps talked about their favourite type of hugs and then we had lots of fun looking at the different types of hugs at the end of the book including the back to back hug, the daisy chain hug, the solo hug, the upside down hug and the come and get it hug. We even tried out some of the hugs…we liked doing the daisy chain hug!
When Mrs Vincent came to collect Prep CV she was freezing cold and wished she could warm up. Prep CV knew EXACTLY what would warm Mrs Vincent up so they gave her a big, warm
Prep CV GROUP HUG!!!!!
