Munsch and Martchenko have created their very first original book designed specifically for preschoolers! When Thea gets mad at mommy, she and her little brother go for a walk around the block. They meet a snail, a skunk, a porcupine, and a gorilla, and get a hug from each one – but the hugs are slimy, smelly, pokey, and way too hard! It’s not until they get back to mommy that Tate and Thea get a really good hug. This book was inspired by a brother and sister from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan who Robert Munsch met while on a ski vacation.
Robert Munsch, author of such classics as The Paper Bag Princess and Thomas’ Snowsuit, is one of North America’s bestselling authors of children’s books.
