* "A feel-good ride, full of droll artistic asides and an abundance
of caring.... In his first outing as an author, Campbell
shines."
*Kirkus Reviews, starred review*
"Campbell’s simply outlined watercolors exude warmth, emotion, and
sly humor, from the deadpan expressions of several surprised
recipients of the Hug Machine’s hugs to his own serenely closed
eyes during each hug, which make it clear that he’s giving each hug
his utmost."
*Publishers Weekly*
"The noodle-armed little boy who loves hugs is irrepressibly
charming....delightfully rendered, and the hug machine’s enthusiasm
for friendliness is hard not to love."
*Booklist*
"Absolutely irresistable."
*School Library Journal*
*"Whether for bedtime or storytime, affectionate kids and adults
will thoroughly embrace (ahem) this fuzzy and goofy paean to
cuddling."
*The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, STARRED
REVIEW*
"a non-sappy, warm-hearted ending to a book that feels just like a
big ol’ hug"
*November/December 2014*
