Hugs - Board Book

by Robert Munsch (Author), Michael Martchenko (Illustrator)

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.
