What's The Hug About

Publisher Summary

“A pleasure”–Kirkus In this clever flipbook, both a hedgehog and a tortoise are looking for a hug. They ask all the other animals they come across but for some reason no one will hug them. Until a wise owl explains: Hedgehog is too spiky; Tortoise is too bony. And that’s when they find each other! A beautiful, heartwarming picture book with all the universal appeal of Guess How Much I Love You.
