Do You Want a Hug?

This is a sweet little book that takes the first steps into conversations about consent. It asks the same question, 'Do You Want a Hug?' to a variety of animals. Some say 'yes' and some say 'no' and others show there are lots of different ways to show affection, if you choose to.  Perfect for sharing with 3-5 year olds who like animals and hugs!

There is another audience for this little book, however. It calls itself a 'Flip*Flap*Pop-Up' book and the paper engineering on each page provides a different example of a moving piece that perfectly supports the Key Stage One DT curriculum. This makes it a fine book to have in a topic box or in a school library, to give children ideas about making their own pop-up and flap books. It's made of fairly sturdy cardboard so should stand up to repeated handling.
