Bookroo's summary

Little Sister isn't afraid of wild animals; she loves them so much she wants to hug them all, from Ape to Zebra. But as she embraces a newt, an octopus, and a porcupine, things get slimy, slippery, and prickly. What will she hug next, and what chaos will ensue? With each hug, the animals scatter, leaving readers wondering who will be left for her to hug. This hilarious adventure, filled with rhymes and laughter, takes kids on a wild journey through the alphabet, promising giggles and surprises at every turn.

From the publisher

WILD ANIMALS DON’T SCARE Little Sister. And to show how much she likes them, she’s going to hug them all, from Ape to Zebra, whether they like it or not! A newt, an octopus, a porcupine . . . it’s a slimy, slippery, prickly situation. What will Little Sister hug next? And what kind of trouble will those hugs get her into? With riotously revolting rhymes and hysterically funny art, kids will be laughing their way from A to Z . . . until all the animals are scared away and there’s only one person left to hug!
