Doug doesn’t like hugs. He thinks hugs are too squeezy, too squashy, too squooshy, too smooshy. He doesn’t like hello hugs or goodbye hugs, game-winning home run hugs or dropped ice cream cone hugs, and he definitely doesn’t like birthday hugs. He’d much rather give a high five – or a low five, a side five, a double five, or a spinny five. Yup, some people love hugs; other people don’t. So how can you tell if someone likes hugs or not? There’s only one way to find out: Ask! Because everybody gets to decide for themselves whether they want a hug or not.

I like the book because a lot of the words rhyme like Doug and Pug. I have learned to ask before you give someone a hug.

Contemporary picture book highlighting how physical interactions can make some people uncomfortable and how best to still show your love without encroaching on boundaries.
