This is the first time that I have read anything from this author. I am a huge fan of culinary novels and loved the food interwoven with the family drama in this book. The characters are all well written and the story line was intriguing. I hope to read more books by this author in the future. I recommend this book.This review was originally posted on

A picture book with rhyming text about how hugs could be from creatures with all of their arms and legs. Such as, an arachnid has 8 legs. This story has cute illustrations with science and math sentences included. Children will enjoy learning how many legs each creature has.

Although it is a rhyming story there are a few of the rhymes that are awkward with the sentence. There is also another book in this series called All Kinds of Kisses.

Have you ever wondered how centipedes hug? What about octopodes? Well wonder no more, author Heather Swain is here to answer in this rhyming picture-book, which celebrates the embraces that multi-legged critters give their young...

Although I had every expectation of enjoying How Many Hugs? when I picked it up - I adore octopodes, and had the mistaken impression, due to the cover art, that the book was about these marvelous creatures - I found the reading experience somewhat disappointing. The rhymes often felt forced, and the lines didn't scan very well, leading to a number of stumbles, when attempting to read the text out loud. The artwork by Steven Henry was cute, but not enough to compensate for the awkward text. All in all, not a book I would recommend, despite the promising cover.… (meer)

This book came out in 2009, and it feels like it with the cringe-y IMs and slang. As someone who was a teen on AIM in 2009, I can safely say that no one ever sounded like that.

Aside from the cringe worthy writing, it features a "fish out of water" main character in Zephyr who was terribly annoying and came off like a complete idiot before turning into a total b*tch. The love interest is the personification of a human trash bag (because he's full of garbage) and there was so much girl on girl hate, I just couldn't stand it!

Needless to say, I will NOT be reading the sequel.
