Bookroo's summary

Thea, upset with her mom, takes her brother Tate on a walk. They encounter a snail, skunk, porcupine, and gorilla, each offering a unique hug. But slimy, smelly, pokey, and hard hugs can't compare to the warmth of a mommy hug. Will Thea and Tate find the comfort they seek back home? Discover the heartwarming journey of realizing where true comfort lies.

From the publisher

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.
