Love the illustration. I'm 25 and I'm crying reading this. Such a good story to teach kids that everything will be fine as long as we keep trying. We might feel like we fail, but eventually we'll fall to the right place in right time - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Tiny would love to give a hug to his friend Spikey, who’s having a bad day. But his arms are so short! This is an adorable book about problem solving and being a good friend. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

I will open this review saying I might have given this book a 3 or 3.5 rating, but I ordered it from Merry Makers with an insanely adorable plush of the hero. That's worth a star.
As children books go, this is a perfectly capable entry. There are colorful photos throughout that are, thankfully, not insanely busy like occasionally happens to cover bad writing. The book is a very simple set up and message; nothing groundbreaking, but it's absolutely a fine book to read with your kids. It's worth checking out, but fully worth buying if you go the route that comes with the plush. It would really help kids connect a bit to hug the hero, I think. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

A minuscule T-Rex named Tiny finds himself faced with a difficult challenge: his best friend Pointy is feeling down and he wants to give comfort by hugging her. Unfortunately, his arms are simply too small to provide the necessary embrace. Or are they? Armed with advice from his brother and sister about practicing, Tiny embarks on a quest to learn to do the impossible...
The latest in a string of picture-books featuring heroes who are challenged in the hug department - think titles like How Do You Hug a Porcupine?, Wally Wants To Hug, or Nobody Hugs a Cactus - Tiny T. Rex and the Impossible Hug takes the classic therapod characteristic of short arms and creates a dinosaur variant on the story. Although not destined to become a favorite, the story here is sweet and the cartoon-like artwork cute and expressive. Recommended to young dinosaurs lovers, or who children who enjoy hugging.
