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.
