About this title

About the Author:

Chritopher Loupy began his professional life as a teacher and has used that experience in creating his beloved books for children. He also is an accomplished screenwriter.

Eve Tharlet was born in France but spent much of her childhood in Germany. After graduating from the Superior School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, France, she began working as a freelance illustrator in 1981 and quickly received international acclaim. Her big breakthrough came with the series about Davy, the cute and cheeky bunny, which propelled her name around the world.

Review:

""Fans of Weninger's series about the rabbit Davy will recognize illustrator Tharlet's expressive style, even though her character this time is a puppy, Hugs. With fur that seems real enough to touch, a sunny disposition, and sweet manners. Hugs is a real charmer. On a quest to find out what kisses are like, he asks every animal he meets for one. He discovers that they can be sticky, muddy, or on the ticklish side. A duck's kiss is a bit hard and wet, but Hugs finds it refreshing; a horse's kiss is damp yet warm; a pig's kiss is bristly but tender. Of course the best kiss of all comes as no surprise: the loving embrace of a mother and son.""
