Bookroo's summary

In a world where even the fiercest creatures crave affection, discover how crocodiles, porcupines, and tigers find love and warmth. This playful tale reveals that everyone, no matter how prickly or toothy, deserves a hug. Join the journey of these unlikely cuddle-seekers and see how love transcends appearances. Will these creatures find the snuggles they long for?

From the publisher

Everyone needs hugs and love in this offbeat, upbeat ode to the not-so-cuddly–and yet still sweet and beloved! Despite their lumpy, bumpy hide, toothy mouths stretched open wide, just like me and just like you, crocodiles need kisses too.Fun-to-read-aloud, rhyming text describes prickly porcupines, roaring tigers, and slithery snakes–not the most cuddly creatures, but still worthy of hugs and snuggles from their mamas! With a luscious and colorful palette, Crocodiles Need Kisses Too shows that animals (and children) don’t have to be warm and fuzzy to be totally lovable.
