Summary

A hug feels good.
Let's hug again.
We'll hug at nine.
We'll hug at ten.

When is it time for a hug? Anytime! This feel-good story—now in paperback—assures kids there's plenty of love to go around the clock.

From the moment Little Bunny wakes up in the morning until the moon comes out and the stars shine, every hour includes a warm hug from Big Bunny. Whether they bake or build, bike or hike, a caring hug always feels just right. This is a book that is generous with love, and full of the sweetest illustrations you've ever seen.
