Three Squeezes~Book Review

Three Squeezes Written by Jason Pratt and Illustrated by Chris Sheban

–Book Review

Thank you Kelsey with Macmillan Children’s Publishing Company for an Advance Reader’s Edition copy of this book.  My opinion of this book is my own.  

Synopsis

From baby boy, dad gives three squeezes.

During school age, dad gives three squeezes.

Through adulthood, dad gives three squeezes.

The three squeezes given in different ways at different times,

but always meant the same. 

My Thoughts

This book is really sweet as you watch the relationship between father and son grow throughout their lifetime.  Those three squeezes meant so much to dad and son.  It reminds me of the long squeeze and kiss on the forehead I give my daughter during our moments.

It is important as parents to always show and tell our children we love them and as they grow they will know and will be able to the same when they have families of their own.
