Description

Hugs-a-Lotl loves nothing more than giving a warm embrace to friends. But after jumping rope too fast at school, the axolotl's little arms pop right off! Losing the limbs isn't a problem. They'll grow back. Hugs is only worried about one question: Who will hug for him? Find out in this delightfully silly chapter book for young readers!

Critical Reviews

These silly, brightly illustrated first chapter books focus on a group of axolotls who live in an underwater community called Sandy Shorts, and who are named after their favorite thing. In these four volumes readers meet Cheers-a-lotyl, who loves holiday inflatables, Hugs-a-Lotyl, who finds himself at a loss when he hugs so much his arms fly off, Snacks-a-Lotyl, who faces a crisis when her mom forgets to pack her school snacks, and Thinks-a-Lotyl, who loses his axolotl smile and must figure out how to get it back. Facts on the real-life critters in the book are appended, along with "Dive Deeper" questions. This series skews toward the silly and nonsensical but could appeal to kids in search of axolotl stories of any kind. VERDICT Recommended for larger collections in which illustrated first chapter books are in demand.-- "School Library Journal"
